Default RE: top not closing even

No I didnt repalce the top yet, ended up spending the money on 31 spline axles, posi unit etc. The problem is the top has shrunk (a lot) the car is kept in my garage, the top is next on my list it makes my other wise very nice condition vert look like crap. Hmm or should I do the Corbeau seats next......

Default RE: top not closing even

I have a similar problem with my 93. My passenger side fits much more snug than my driver side. I know part of the reason is that the hook for the latch is broken, the pin fell out and is currently being held in with electrical wire, it works but not as tight as it should. That being said I still had the problem before the hook broke.

I also have a lot of wind flow coming in threw the center section where the top and the windsheild meet, I need to change the weather stripping but is there any other reason it might do this? I've looked at it from the outside and noticed that there are two rolled sections, the front of the top and then a smaller peice that runs the length of the windsheild, this peace doesn't follow the curve of the top's edge, it seems to flatten out in the middle and then rejoin the curve at either end. Is this normal? I don't think so, but I don't know to much about verts, yet.
