You must be on relatively flat level ground as already posted. Also, don't tighten any bolts until you get them all started by a couple of threads.

I never had that problem. Mine goes on and off smoothly and dont leek. Im kinda wishing it did, then I would change the weather stripping because right now it dont look pretty.

about the exhaust tips, look on the corvette shopping mall. I would bet they are there. If they aint there, Midamerica has them. http://www.madvet.com
