Hi folks,
It's been about two years since I installed my soft top. It is a vinyl one. I spent a lot of time getting the top frame to fit right, however, when I fold the top down it seems that it always pinches the material, no matter how I try to keep if from doing so. It seems it is being pinched between the top mechanism on the side right above the door window openings. I can put rags around the frame where the pieces scissor together and try to keep the material out of the way, but no matter what I do it still seems to try and slice something.
Is the top frame meant to be mounted with the mechanism squeezed towards the center of the car, as in a smaller distance between the mounting flanges vs. when uninstalled or something?
Anyone have similar issues before and how did you remedy the situation?
Thanks,
Chris
