Re: Don't know where else to turn...


Thank you for your response! I believe you're on the right track...
The top is obviously 'old' and I believe 'hard'... Does this make
sense? In turn in doesn't close right. I was/am just afraid to sink
$600 for a new top and not have the issue resolved... Thanks again!

Hey Kevin

If I read this correctly, you are saying you have a 1/3 inch gap when you
try to close it?

The top IS adjustable. What you need is to find an upholstry shop that does
convertible tops.

It's possible that you could heat it and let it relax some before closing
it.
I wouldn't force it. You could tear it or bend something or even break
something.

Give a bit more info, maybe even post a lin to a picture.
Is it out in freezing cold all the time? When was the last time that you
closed it completely? Did you open it on a cold day? (That's a no no, great
way to crack your top)
Where is it stored?
How long has it been like this?
