I'm going to get back at it Sunday Should be able to make some progress then.

Thanks

The puzzling part about this top🙄

Top resting in place no hardware. Nice fit all around.



Then with front tabs and spinlock hardware installed and locked.




Top shifts rearward (enough to chip my paint ☹ ) and the front shifts away and up in the front. Any ideas would be appreciated. My brain is foggy.
