Default hardtop question

Is there a way to tighten the liner on a hardop? Mine sees like it's stretching a little

It might be a little more helpful if you give us some info like what year and are we talking about a removable hard top for a vert?

Default hardtop question - more info

Recently purchased an '89 coupe with removeable hardtop. The liner is sagging just a little. Can it be tightened?

You would probably be better off replacing it. It is fairly simple to do and use 3M 90 spray adhesive. If you send me your e-mail address I will send you a procedure that someone sent me.
