lowering convertible top questions
Oooh, that's bad. As you know, the top has to go down far enough to engage the plastic hooks on each side. Having material between the bows makes that very difficult. First time I tried driving with the top down after I got the car running, I didn't know better. I drove around the corner and the top started to go up by itself. Went home, looked at it a little closer, refolded, latched it into the hooks, and I was good. Once the top goes down in the spring, it's mostly down until fall. Oh, with the boot over it. Mine has a vertical cut on each side that had another patch of material on the inside that's supposed to cover it. Looks factory to me. Like it's some kind of strain relief. Shrugs. I saw the same thing on a b-body this summer.
I drove my car 350 miles through a steady down pour the whole way from the slant six drag race in KY in September and the top seemed to have shrunk a bit from the soaking.
