Default Rag top problems

Good morning,I’m having trouble adjusting my convertible top on my 58.Installed new windshield and trying to adjust the top after re installing it.(should never have removed it).Had it out in the sun all day and still fits tight.Any ideas?Trying to adjust it all different way,no luck so far.I know how to adjust it to be straight at the side window.

I ended up after a year of fighting it.....changed to a "stay-Soft" top..........Be careful not to damage your windshield frame trying to fasten the top!!!!

Larry Woods of Larry Woods Design might be a good Member to PM....for additional information He is a great Member and very knowledgable......

Did the top fit properly before replacing the windshield?
