It would likely be easier to mail to someone in DVD form too.

Very nice of you Chuck. A true gentleman should be rewarded - if I ever find a how-to-video to replace those chewed up sun visors of yours it will be gifted to you from me!

The how to get rid of the flip would be appreciated here. Mine pulled loose and started to flip up. I reglued it but the problem seems like its too tight in the drivers back corner. The flip is returning

Default I can digitize and post on my web site immediately

Hey Chuck and guys and gals,

If someone sends me a tape or DVD, I'll digitize it and put it up immediately and permanently on my web site. I have the capability, space and time :-)

I've already pdf'ed the 1986 service and parts manuals and you all are free to download as you please. I hope they help.

Comp,

once I put it on my web server, you don't actually have to DOWLOAD it and or save it to your hard disk to just watch it.

If you have a media player of some sort, you can just click on it and watch it :-)

I have 6 dvd's that I will be sending out. I only have one address I was able to find from those of whom had previously sent them to me.

R. Allen in MI 48451(so you are getting one.)

"Leefarah" is definetly getting one so that he can post it on his site for everybody. I still however need your address.

"Blue Roadster" and "mizzjodym" are also getting dvd's as long as I get an address from them.

That leaves 2 left over. I would like to send these last two out to those who have already posted on this thread and who actually need to replace their soft-top and not to those who just want the video because they have a convertible.

Please pm me (no e-mails) with your address and I'll send out the last two....fist come first served.

For those of you who also need the dvd and are not included in the 6, maybe one of the above CF members can "pay-it-forward" to you as I have done.

Chuck
