Re: ‘74 TR6
Hi folks! After 2 years, finally on the road; but it‘s getting cold.
So, in the middle of installing a new top.
Question: I have glued the rear edge to the back bar and installed the snaps. Getting ready to attach bar and I noticed that, when putting the top down, I could not fold the side panels over the rear window without creasing the side window. In order to fold the panels along the seams, which allows the panels to fold naturally and without damage to the windows, the back vinyl edge cannot be glued all the way to the edge of the metal strip (gluing ends at the point of the last snap just under the strap). Is this correct, or am I missing something? Thanks as always. Hope my question is clear.
