All Fixed!!!

I dropped the car off yesterday morning to have the guide channel issue and canvas bubble issue looked at by the installer. He said that he had a few ideas in mind to correct the issues, but there were no guarantees it could be corrected. By mid-afternoon, I got a phone call that everything was fixed.

I am VERY happy with the outcome of this repair. The top is now tight in all areas with no bubbles of loose canvas, and best of all, the edges now fall into the guide channels without having to push them into place!

The installer said he had to get creative with this fix, creating elastic loops riveted to the top that go around the poles on the inside of each side of the top. This is difficult to describe, but I can certainly snap some pictures if anyone is interested.

Of all the tops the installer has done on Boxsters, he said that this is the first time he has gotten the edges to fall into the guide channel by themselves. I think he was pretty happy to have come up with this fix for future installs.
