Putting down the new top
Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2003 4:01 pm
I just had a new top put on my early 67 Roadster with a rollbar. When I bought the car it had the hard top on it, but I have seen pictures of it with the soft top.
Problem is putting down the top. It misses the roll bar pretty well, but doesn't want to push down and rest behind the rollbar and on the back of the car. Do I need to disconnect "posties" or "twisties"? Do I need to disconnect the swatches of material that snap together to hold the top down to the top frame? I don't want to force it down, lest I tear my new top! I would appreciate any advice. Thanks, Mark
