Hi Everyone,

Just put my hardtop on ready for the winter. The first time its been on since I had the car.

Put the front in first and carefully dropped the back, lining up the pins with holes. Used the allen key and turned until it clicked once.

Looked wierd as there was a gap of around an inch all the way round, but its on tight. Is this right??

The problem I now have is that the front windows go up and down fine. The drivers side rear window seems to get jammed and eventually comes up after a few presses. Once it starts going up its fine.

Does anyone know about this problem and what I can do please??

Gap is right. If you adjust the gap too small it will rub the paint off.

Check to see that he window seal is straight and tucked into the top all of the way. Maybe rubber lube the seal? Leave the window up and pretend it is a coupe until spring?

Guys,

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I will book it into my local Indy and get them to have a look.

I do not really want to start messing around with the adjustments, but it look slike that may be the issue.

Thank you so much

Mine does this every time I put the hardtop on (just put it back on yesterday). The passenger side rear window seems to catch on the weather stripping and won't come up. I just sit in the passenger seat and hold the weather stripping back while I activate the switch with my other hand.

Once it is up and sits for a while with the window in the channel it seems to work perfectly when I raise and lower it after that. There seems to be a little mis-alignment.

Good luck with it.
