Default First time Topless

OK...Beatiful weather today in the northeast...Took the top off early this morning on my 93. This is my first time

So...needless to say I will be putting on some well deserved miles today...fill the tank and roll.

Any secrets to putting it back on Seems like a simple fit.

Make sure the car is on a level surface. My driveway isn't level and it's a bitch to get it back on. I sometimes have to go to a local parking lot before all the bolts will fit.

Just picture that scene from "There's Something About Mary" and you'll burn the disappointment out

Well, I made it back. I LOVE THIS CAR!!! Beautiful with the top down. Was cruising all day...I put the top back on once I got home and it took me all of 5 minutes. Bolts lined up first try. The doors close cleanly and windows fit snugly. I do need to replace some weather stripping before it gets too bad. It looks like a PITA.
