Re: Convertible Top Latches Fix?

by "Christopher Muto" <muto@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Feb 29, 2008 at 01:01 AM

did you install the top yourself?  does it have a zippered window or a non 
zip glass window.  a non zip glass window comes with straps to be added to

the frame that could have been installed too short resulting in tremendous

resistance to closing.  when you say you have trouble latching the top
does 
that mean you have never been able to latch it or close the latches since
it 
was installed or that it is just difficult?  when i put on my cloth top it

took a couple of hours for me and a friend to get it to close for the
first 
time.  and that was in the middle of the summer with full sun heating it
up. 
i was told to leave it closed for a week and was in fear of opening it for

the first time thinking that i would not be able to ever close it again...

but it was fine.  and i did not have to make any adjustments to the
latches.

I didn't think you were being rude.  I just wanted to make it clear
that I bought a new top.  I am going to do the latch thing, but I am
wondring if the latches tend to wear out making it more difficult to
catch.
