fox vert question
has anyone attempted to fix the window track for the back side windows? i think i have a problem with mine, drivers side. the top edges of the 2 side windows don't line up, and yesterday my weatherstripping took the brunt of that flaw, when i dropped the top. i imagine it's quite an involved process, but i need to fix it. the back edge of the window has moved like 1 inch from the edge of the top. when i put the top back up, the left side of it tweaks or something, and hangs up, i have to shake it around to get it to come down, and yesterday, during all this, as i was putting the back window up, i had to pull the glass forward so it wouldn't hang up and stop.

RE: fox vert question
nah, those back windows just suck.
I just ordered new bushings and motors for mine.
very common for the to be out alignment or not working.
top probably just needs some grease/oil
or something adjusted, hydraulics might be going out on it too.

RE: fox vert question
what is the easiest way to inspect the top's armiture? i think the "tweaking" or hanging up is inside the well, on the side. i know the motor and lines were replaced with the top, but all the arms and linkage and hinges are original. where should i begin to look for this? i'm not "convertable" inclined, so to say, lol.
its got me baffled, cuz along with the tweaking, i had to really pull forward hard to get the pins lined up with the holes.

RE: fox vert question
just take the whole back seat out and the well lining
behind it, and start looking with someone making the top move for you.
gonna be a pain, good luck
I'm lucky my tuner is into Fox bodies ( has like 5 of 'em ) and
knows how to adjust and work on a lot this rinky-dink crap and where to look.
