Ok, I got a 97 gt convertible. The latch on the left side is messed up, is really hard to open when I close it, but to close it, i have to stick my arm out and force the top down. Also, I was told my top could be "off track". There are some tiny small holes in the top, couple of big ones, nothing to ghetto though.

Should I just replace the top? If mine is off track, I dont want a new one getting messed up. Thats a lot of money.

 

Does the top appear to have been twisted or otherwise damaged? It's hard to say what do do without seeing what you're talking about.. post a pic of the problem areasif you can(?)

 

link in my sig is pics.

 

That tops looks pretty beat. Mine is the opposite my driver side is a bitch to get undone and back on but the passenger side is pretty easy to get off.

 

Nah clix, mine is the driver too. Hard to open, hard to close. Dunno why lol

 

mineWAS the same way, now the latch doesn't go up, but the little hook can easily be lift out with my pinky

 

try to adjust the latches. My latches have a bolt that makes it tighter or loooser. Yeah dude i'd invest in a new top if i were you. Looks pretty beat to me

 

my drivers side latch was like that for a while but after afew weeks of having to strain myself to rip it open i guess it got bent and now it opens and closes fine but it doesnt close all the way and leaks
on my way down to florida this week i had to stick my sock in the leak when it rained really hard
