i have an 89 convertible.
i removed the convertible top from the vehicle and installed the
hardtop for the fall/winter. more travel room till summer.
heres the fun part.
i have forgotten the postion of the bows and the pivot. this wasnt
supposed to have taken as long and i got a lil older.
the cast aluminum bow attaches at what point?
the steel balance strut attaches at what point?
i need some pictures of the pivot point where the bows meet.
the bows have torx-40 bolts attaching the bows to the pivot.
ive tried about any combination of attachment points, but they either
bind, or will not stow correctly or will not align to the windshield.
if you cannot post pix, please email them to me.
