the top is now doing the overlapping thing again. I haven't yet taken a look to trouble shoot.
If I don't make sure it is tracking correctly before completely closing the top, I am concerned that I am stressing and causing harm to the top and its parts. If you haven't gotten this corrected yet, I do encourage you to do what you can to control it.
I am very appreciative / grateful for Mike Focke's web site and this forum. I've never had a car require so much attention and maintenance before.  |
If your car is no longer under warranty, check those velcro straps as it is an easy DIY. If they come apart or tear, the cable will no longer be guided into the proper channel when the top closes. In that case, you can sew in a new velcro strap or patch the old one. There are good photos and measurements in that write-up on Mike Focke's website for the velcro straps.
