Niceboxster please clarify:

1.The new glass window top , is it installed on the old 3 bow frame ?
2.Or is the new top installed on a 4 bow frame ?

If the answer is # 1 the top has to be completely removed from the frame and replaced with a 4 bow frame . Then the top needs to be reinstalled .

If the answer is # 2 then additional tucking/pulling/tightening/fastening has to be done to get it right .

This is the tutorial I used when I installed an ‘04 top/frame on my ‘02 base. Easy install if you follow the directions. Only adjustment necessary was some minor tweaking of the pushrod lengths for top to close and latch properly.

Have your dad undo what he has done and then follow this tutorial.
