What is the key to adjusting a convertible top frame for proper fit on a 62 Corvette? Mine fits OK in the rear, but the front won't quite get to the windshield to latch it.

Thanks,

Has the top been down for awhile???Leave it up in a heated area for awhile and see if you can latch it. It could have shrunk..

Yes, it's been down thru the winter months, but the car was stored in a heated garage.

Hook all 4 corners up then latch the back two clamps and go to the front and close those...If its still hard to hook up a hair dryer may help take out the wrinkles and soften the material. ..

You violated the age old rule:

NEVER leave a convertible top down for any length of time. No more than a day or two.

Always put it back up and latch it.

Learned this when I had my first convertible, a 63 Nova back in 65 or so.

Chuck,

One of the many reasons I went with a Stayfast cloth top on the 62. Can leave it down almost forever, and it still comes back up with the same "fit".

Too bad that "fit" on a C1 has never been great to begin with.
