Hi All. Well the dreaded convertible top blues has hit me HARD.
Over the weekend I noticed the rear window section was hitting the interior tub when folding open. It was enough to tear away the black vinyl that lines the tub. I thought that it was a simple adjustment of rotating nut that increases or decreases the distance from the rear lid....boy was I WRONG. For 3 hours I fought like hell to get the top up and without the rear lid (which previously never did this) from striking the rear window area. Things got stuck and at one point I could not fully close the top. I am thinking I am absolutely screwed. Well after a few more hours of playing around, I somewhat forcefully got it to close. No beeps, etc etc. But now I noticed two things. The rear deck lid is slightly out of alignment where it was once straight with the seams (see pic) and when I open the doors and the window pops down slightly but does not now come back up to get a tight seal. I am absolutely gutted and do not have 7 grand to spend on a new top. Thoughts??? |
