Need advice on adjusting convertible top frame
...Just took off the old top and frame...Sanded and painted the frame (looks real good) :yesnod: When I removed the two bolts on one side of the frame it didn't move very much but when the last bolt started to turn from the other side, the whole frame dropped :eek: ...Glad I though enough to place tarp between the body and top frame before I did this or i'd be :cry ...I put the frame back on but did not tighten the four bolts...The whole frame can be adjusted horizontal and vertical by the four bolts...Any comments on how to adjust the frame before I tighten the bolts....If I don't have the frame right I'm wondering if it will affect the top when I put it on :confused:
PS The top I took off was white...found a small piece of the old top stuck between the old, original weatherstrip and it was black...That was nice to know since I am placing a black one back on Thanks for any replies :cheers:
Save the wave :seeya

Set it up with about a half inch space all around the window. Or use the new weatherstrip as a guide.
