Couple small problems...
2 small problems that I have been encountering on my '95 convert.
1-The ragtop isn't sealed to the rear window anymore. Along the bottom edge, the fabric has pulled away from the glass and it is leaking. It looks like 2-sided tape would fix this easily, but what kind and is there an "accepted" solution to this problem?
2-The heater controls aren't quite working. Sometimes the heat ^ button doesn't respond, but the down one always does.
Any advice or help is GREATLY appreciated!

Go to a shop that installs convertible tops and ask their advice. Shop around too. Good luck!

Thanks! I'll check that out.
I pulled the side mouldings off my own car and whatever tape-style adhesive used on there is incredible stuff. I know the right product is out there, its just a matter of identifying it.

Quick note on 2. Mine was doing the same thing. I took it apart and used an eraser to clean the contacts. Its been working fine ever since. There was a tech-tip on how to do this. Its worth the time to do.
