Need help adjusting vert top.
I have an annoying squeak that seems to come from the bow over the rear seat over hard bumps, didnt do it when I first got the car, Im guessing all it needs is some adjustment. Can someone help me out here, it doesnt sound like its coming from the front of the top. Thanks in advance. :cheers:
EDIT: anyone know whats up with the spots on the tonneau cover where the soft interior fabric overlies the humps, Ive had it on both my covertibles, is it related to the fabric rubbing the paint? (note I am not talking about the common paint rubbing problem) Thanks :cheers:
