I used 250lb zip ties to hold down my convertible top in the open position, as an alternative to paying $2000 to replace the motors. When I'd need to put up the top I'd cut the zip ties and when I'd want to put it down I'd put on a new set.

With California weather and an indoor parking spot I only ended up using about one pack (10? 12?) a year.

I can't help thinking that people here in Scotland with convertibles (of which there are a surprising number) would probably use less than you per year ;-)

Can you elaborate please? I’m not getting the reference unless it’s some kilt thing

Is that a 'Scots are cheap and greedy' joke?

That's a really heavy zip tie.
