Hello.
I did a rework of my soft top frame, which included disassembly and reconditioning of the parts. I took some photos prior to the work, so I'd have a reference on how to put it all together again. I used one of the heavy rivet kits available from the vendors. Everything seemed to go back together right, and it seemed nice and tight, not sloppy loose as it was before. After istalling the top frame, I noticed the windows were now not engaging the weatherstrip on the back-top of the windows. I then mounted the hardtop, and everything fit just right, like it always had before. On the top frame, the back upper corners seem pulled inward, and the #2 bow sticks out a bit past the frame each side. I believe I've bent something in this area, or maybe the new frame rivets have tightened up everything, out of alignment. I don't want to just bend this or that until it works, I want to find the source of the problem.
So the question is: Does any one have or know of a source for the correct dimensions of the 69-75 soft top frame?
