Threads showing NEED INFO

Looking to buy M350 Mercury Rib. There are a couple of threads showing. Is this an issue? Any help would be most appreciated!

Its not unusual to get the odd thread hanging out along the edge of the material, a quick flick with a cigarette lighter will melt it off in a second.

Look closely at the fabric around the base of the Bowrail. Had to repair a few that wore through the tube. Poor design and now well supported underneathe.

Damn auto correct- was trying to say ... bowrail is not well supported underneathe. Single layer of fabric against the tube.
