lowering convertible top questions
I have a '65 manual top Valiant Signet and did not know anything about pulling the material out and away from the pinch areas. I would have to push and push very hard in order to get the top down far enough to latch it down/open. This worked for several years until I finally ripped the top on the driver's side forcing it down. The material got pinched and tore. So be gentle.
I never unzipped the plastic window, which did not seem to present a problem.
The flotation device patch I glued on turned yellow (it was sewed before the patch was put on).
