Tesla Roadster

Soft Top Cable Roof Bows

Tesla Roadster Soft Top Roof Bows (Pair)
Fits 2008โ€“2012 Tesla Roadster 1.5 / 2.0 / 2.5 ย โ€ขย  Soft-Top Only

The soft-top roof bows are the arched crossbars that tension the fabric roof on a Tesla Roadster, shape the roofline, and help control wind noise and water intrusion.
Each Roadster uses a matched pair of bows, and this listing replaces both.ย  (We recommend replacing these in pairs)

Why these fail
  • Years of flexing during install/removal lead to stress cracks in the bows and end mounts.
  • Constant UV, heat, and temperature cycling can warp the bow, reducing tension on the soft top and creating wind noise.
  • Previous owners may force or mis-stow the soft top, bending or snapping a bow.
  • Once a bow deforms, the fabric no longer sits correctly, which can accelerate wear on the roof itself.
Our solution
  • Replacement pair of roof bows engineered for correct Tesla Roadster soft-top curvature and fit.
  • Designed as a drop-in swap for the factory bows using the existing soft-top hardware and fabric.
  • Helps restore proper roof tension, reduced wind noise, and better sealing at speed.
  • Ideal when your soft top fabric is still serviceable but the bows are cracked, bent, or missing.

Service, coverage & installation

We can ship these bows worldwide for qualified DIY installation, or install them here as part of a Tesla Roadster soft-top service visit. Installation requires careful handling of the fabric roof and bow pockets; if you are unsure, we recommend having our Roadster technicians perform the work.

Maintenance tip: Always remove and store the soft top using the proper folding procedure. Avoid twisting the bows or forcing them into the bagโ€”this is where most cracks and bends start.
