Soft Top Panel Doesn't Sit Flush When Convertible Top is Down

Hey all,

Overall, the operation of the soft top such as opening and closing time and sound -- all sound normal -- however, I noticed that as of recently, the soft top doesn't go all the way down and the panel that would typically cover it and sit flush with the rest of the car sticks out a bit -- wondering if anyone else has encountered this and if this is something I can fix myself?



Thank you

That never before has been encountered.

OK. It has. You'll find the fix upon these pages. Use the SEARCH bar... the SEARCH function. I'm in my sarcastic mood (pre-5AM), and I'm not in the mood to go searching.

That has happened to me. I forgot what I did, but it worked. Good luck.

Let us know of your success.

LOL I appreciate the response and the sarcasm. Will look for it via the search function, thank you

If you can locate the exact resource that helped you, once you had your coffee and it’s after 5am, I would greatly appreciate it

No. ****************.

You left your sense of humor on the Rennlist forum? There exist only 3 Rick Astley fans. You either "get it", or you don't.

Oh. Chicago. NM.
