Once you know what's causing this, loose tubes, oil contamination, whatever, and you know what your covering and finishing system is, consider this:Assuming Poly Fiber system and a Poly Tone top finish (if you have Aerothane, this won't work) 

 Use MEK to remove finish all the way down to bare fabric 2" either side of tube.

Examine fabric to insure it has not started to fray.

If unfrayed, follow instructions for round ribs, no rib stitching, use rivets or screws and possibly a cover strip of light gauge aluminum over fabric and rib. 
If frayed, put down a pinked edge reinforcing tape first then finish as 3.

Hope this helps.
