Well after a long fight with fedex, they finally said that they received the item in good condition and delivered it in good condition... but they would push for us to get our freight charges back and if possible $.50 per pound in damages. REALLY. This top only weighs about 60 pounds. We had had enough so took what we could get and got to work on some repairs. I stripped it down to just a fiberglass shell and sent it off to the paint shop. Luckily the top only had one small crack in the fiberglass and I think that might have been there for some time, as it was close to where the aluminum surround is pushed on. I then started straightening and polishing all the individual trim pieces. Surprisingly it bent fairly easily, which is also why it was so easily damaged. I was expecting to have to anneal the aluminum prior to reshaping but careful pressure in just the right places and it moved how I wanted it. I made a jig out of some I-beam and a spare set of cockpit surrounds so gauge how far and which way to bend and shape. I then sanded and polished everything, and cleaned and painted the headliner frame. I ordered all the seals and headliner material. I had a friend sew the headliner up and I wrapped all the pieces with the material. I sourced a new back window as the original had suffered a hit and left a starburst in the plastic. Last week I finally finished re-assembly and we fit it today. SUCCESS!!! I was surprised at how well it fit after all it had been through. I did not have to re-bend anything today, just shave a little off the corner radius's of the side curtains so they would clear when closing the door. I will let the pictures tell the rest of the story.
