Hey BN6 2197,
Well,should have figured you meant the soft top or HOOD as it is referred to in
Europe or at least the UK. Now it makes sense ! The hood/top attachment
latch is what you are having trouble with. The chrome bolt that screws into the
top of the windshield posts can be screwed in too much but not a lot of adjustment
there. Are your hooks "bent" to one side or straight ? I am sure your hood frame
is the correct one as it should only have one and half bows versus the three
bows for the BN4, correct? If it's the correct frame then can only mount
one way. When I put my hood up, the front frame rail just about sits on top of
the windshield frame. The J hook on the latch needs to be positioned so it will
just go around the chrome bolt - mine does it at an angle - and when you
pull up on the latch lever, should draw your top up. If you could post a picture
of how it looks when you are trying to close it up would help a lot. You can
e-mail it to me at:harborislander@aol.com if you want. Hope this helps.
Regards,
Mike
