Convertable Top

Post by Kev659 »

My convertable top keeps slipping out of the mount on the bottom. I am afraid to put the top down and have the lower section pull away. Any tips on how to keep it more secure?

The top should be glued to the lower frame and then bolted tightly to the blind nuts (if you have them). A couple of mine were missing and I had a heck of a time contorting myself in the trunk to get some nuts on the bolts
