Convertible top won't go all the way down.

Hey FOBA's,

I have a 65 Vali Vert and the top sticks out of the housing and won't collapse flush like some Verts I've seen. Any experience with this issue folks?

Thanks!

here's the lowest I've seen it in a picture and the metal part that folds forward is still up about an 1in to 1 1/2 in the picture. Mine sure as heck doesn't go that low bout 1 1/2 2 1/2 from the chrome trim depending on how it folds the material and if the pads get pinched in the mechanism.

of course it the car in the picture) was new and prepped for the pictures. I've been able to get mine close to that when the top was new and everything greased up.
