Help advice needed soft top problem
I recently had my top replaced here in Australia with a haartz top from the US (the retro fit glass rear type)
Anyway the local upholster guy...yes no problem but its ended up a disaster.
First the weather stripping put on the wrong sides(yes it can be done)
so Fixed this and other things,just over going back as he is obviously guessing on how to fix the other stuff ups.
1. Just found out there seems to be a sewn in sleeve on the inside along the outer edge about 4"long and opp 1st bow (back from the windscreen), and looks like something should run thru it to hold this edge flat?
2. Also missing bolt for first bow to frame,he said he could not find it
not sure what sequence this is attached and plastic washer placement? the other side does not look correct either don't want to use that as a reference, so thought better to ask you guys.
trying to upload pics..not having much success
