2011 Convertible top stripes help!

Can anyone tell me what these stripes are on my top? Even when it is hot outside for days it is still there. It does live outside and these just popped up about 3 months ago. Any help would be great!

The darker is the color it has always been.

Looks like normal wear marks to me. You can see where they line up with the ribs of the top.

Agree. I wonder if there is a dye that can be applied to the top entirely to make these less noticeable?

There are dyes available and youtube videos. Do it and let me know how it turns out. Mine isn't as bad but it does bug me.

I used this on my 4th Gen with good results. It really restored the color, and mine looked similar to yours.

Post some pics. I do not currently own a convertible. However, I did own an 89 IROC-Z vert with a black top in the past and an 87 Corvette vert with a saddle top as well. Are there dyes for saddle tops ? I did develop marks on top with the Corvette similar to the OP.. but not on the IROC.
