Sheesh, the abuse I take......
My first top which I put about 2 years before my last, fit very well, all the way around, but it had to come off as someone put a nice loooong hole in it :icon_cry:
So in replacing it, I replaced the headliner, foam, bow, window surround support and roof straps. Everything was centered perfectly, (In the 73 convert there is only one wood bow, the window surround is solid rubber under the advise of Chuck, never rots, and holds up - so far so good!)
- I followed a video that is put out by some VW convert company ( cant think of their name now) but have heard them referenced a lot in newsgroups. Looked very good
This last top had to be stretched much more than my first one, way much more, it was a fight all the way. Everything was perfectly centered, so the only thing I can think of that is using up my side space ( if it not a flaw in the top) is the foam on top, which I got from chucks. I think I did the install perfectly. Just putting on this top was a different experience than the last.
Lupe, saw your link - Nice work on the vert top!!, I love the Mohair headliner, that is great. Glad mine does not have that many wood bows!
When I'm done a lot of my other projects 888 I'm wanting to take the top off, and try another. There relavtively cheap .....
Thanks Lupe!
