Default Targa Top

When I put my top on my '89 I have trouble with the passanger front bolt lining up with the hole in the top. What could be the problem? Car tweaked?

I dont know if anyone has had this problem before, but my targa top actually warped(i guess due to the heat). You might just want to try to eye-ball it to see if yours has done the same.

Only happened to me once...I was trying to put my top back on while parked on an uneven road. I usually take the top off and put it on in my garage which is level. After about 20 minutes of looking like an idiot I pulled the car forward to a more level spot and everything was fine. :smash:

You can unscrew the bolts on the top and adjust it so it fits onto the car better. I had to do this when I bought a blue top that didn't come with my car.

BE ON LEVEL GOUND (TO INSTALL)
SOMETIMES THINGS WON'T l/u EXACTLY AFTER A NEW WINDSHIELD,

You can adjust the alignment (see post above)

if mine isn't on perfectly level ground it's an awful bastard to install. It took me 20 minutes tonight. :rolleyes:

Try this procedure: https://www.corvetteforum.com/techti...=200&TopicID=2 That should get your top aligned nicely. :cheers:
