I don't think you need to be that concerned. So long as they don't contact the headers for extended periods of time you're okay. Looms work great for that.

AND i finally got some pics on the internet SO is there any way to get those closer? bc my dads 72 T-tops are about a 1/4 inch away and on the downward arch on the front of the T-top mines takes a sharper turn downward intead or the gental slope, is there any way i could lower it all about 3/8 of an inch?

Any one?

It's either bad door switches, or a bad headlight switch. Check to see if the switches in the door jambs do anything to affect the dome light. If they are working properly the headlight switch may be bad. Does your headlight switch rotate to dim the dash lights?

Okay so when you say head lamp, do you mean the head lights up front? If they are always on then you need a new head light switch.

I'm a little confused. I can't figure out what headlight indicator light you're talking about. Can you post a pic of it?

Yes, it does say Head Lamp, but I really am bot familiar with what it's trying to tell you. I think that would be a good question and picture fro a new thread to get some more people interested in a new thread. Others have probably stopped subscribing to this one.
