Replace top issues

Agree that you should return to the installer.

I put a top/wglass window on my car almost 2 years ago. Mine would go down just fine.
The top is very tight and needs to be left up and latched and the car left out in the sun for about a week. It'll certainly stretch and become easier to latch.

Wires outside the channels is pretty common and can be corrected. Given you paid to have the top installed, the installer ought to correct the wire position.

Thanks guys! Definitely paying a visit to the installer today.

I have a couple of questions -

1) When you put down the top, how is the glass angled? On mine the glass is at a 45 degree angle and does not move, it looks like the glass needs to be at more of a flat angle.

2) Putting the top up and down manually, does it matter how the clamshell is positioned? I assume it is good with the clamshell opened all the way, I want to make sure there is no interference with any of the lift mechanism.

The new top looks amazing and is so much quieter, I just want to be able to use it! Paid top dollar for the install because the guy has done several, hopefully he will make it right.

Much appreciated.

just behind the door windows on the top frame near the doorsill. They look kind of like leaf/tension springs (just a flat piece of metal) and these are either inverted or swapped left to right incorrectly. I installed my glass top myself and had the same issue until these were fixed and it worked perfectly after that.
