Richard, I don't yet if there will be a Fall Corvette Expo, but if there is, Clint, of Coffman Corvette will be there. There is no one I know of any better than him at adjusting the convertible tops on these cars.

If if there is a Fall Corvette Expo, Al Knoch and his crew will also be there and his folks do a superb job installing tops. I also know that they also occasionally send folks to Clint for some tweaking.

Both of them will also be at Corvettes At Carlisle in August. Both have tight schedules, so if you want to get a time slot for either event, check with them soon.

Good luck... GUSTO

Exactly what are the adjustments needed? Pics would be a great help. I may be able to help. Gusto is right tho. Clint is one of the best. So is Al Knoch.
