does anyone no why the convertible topseem to be misaligned.
thanks alot its a 94 gt

 

Did it get hit/ sat on/ have another heavy force or blow applied to it?

 

not that i know of the more i play with it seems the top cover is to tight and causing the one side to not go to finallooking position is this common

 

sounds like the top isnt on right, i have no idea how to fix it though

 

i am hoping thats all it is are you able to take them off and put them back on

 

I am a convertible top guy.

Usually if a top becomes misaligned after it was correctly aligned, a top tech would look at the hinges(the joints which fold like your elbow when the top goes up and down) and see if one of the hinge pins is coming out or missing.

Don't try to take the top off and reinstall it. Not fun!

 

When i put my top down all the way, one side sits higher than the other.

 

scan thanks ill check that out I thought I went through maybe I missed someting. I dont know if it was put on right or ever alighned. Is it hard to install new top

 

I've heard its not that hard to install one, if you buy the tops with the installation kit/video. but if its your only car, i wouldn't do it cuz it might take a few days and a few beers and some stress

 

hd, crusin92 is right. The replacement isn't rocket science. The frustrating part is, after stapling the new top onto the rear bar and then bolting it into place, finding that you stapled too much top, or not enough and then taking it all apart several times until you guess right. We have a few tricks up our sleeve, but still can't do a 'Stang in the labor time always that the book says it should take.

I think something has changed on your top. It could be in the front clamp(the ones that hook down the top to the windshield), hydraulic cylinder(it's not uncommon for them to start leaking or break at the mounting brackets), or maybe like I said the hinge pins(this is very common).

Keep in mind also, very few convertibles always are in perfect alignment. Even brand new. They frequently are slightly mis aligned.
