does anyone have trouble closing there tops
i had a good top before i fitted the new one but the PASS SIDE SEAM WAY TO TIGHT TO CLOSE!! if i try latch it on to the header panel it want to pull the material out from where the glass meets the frame on the side seam like it way to tight or the frame is broke but i cant find the problem??

[pokmnster]

Did you try adjusting the latch or there is an adjustment on each side that you can loosen and tighten? let me know i have the diagrams or I can shoot you pics.

[Fiano]

the top is not coming even close to where it latches  with the new top fitted its like the right hand side of the frame has been damaged at one point!!

I warned ya bout doing it yourself.
The "pros" who did mine put on 3 different tops till they got it right.

razz i fitted the top perfectly  the problem is the frame was bent i would fit a top to another capri tomorrow its so friggen easy  and the person that did yours did it 3 times? hmmm pro??
its just a patiants thing! once you have it clipped into the rear retainer you fit the cables throught the side and the top glue the side into place then fit the front, i come to find out my frame is bent 1 1/2 inch out of sq one of those things you don know till you atempt

Well I'm not mechanicaaly inclined, although with 3 capris I would save a bundle if I was.

Wasn't your old top on that frame?

[Fiano]

yeah it was and it was a newer top as well i though it just shrank but it was infact the frame out of wake so now i have 1 new top and a newer top! oh well!
spring is here soon! we hope!!

bro dont worry my roof is hammered as it is..........were on the same boat my friend.

[Richter12x2]

I was looking at tops on a website, and they mentioned something about needing a certain measure because they have two different tops for a capri, the only difference being one is about 2 inches longer (material wise)

[Razzamatazzboca]

You are correct Josh.
In mid 92 the dimensions of the top were changed so anything mid 92 + on is a diff size than the earlier ones.

[Richter12x2]

Wouldn't you know it?  Right in the middle of when my car was made.  Can't anything ever be easy?  Oh hey, does that company make tan tops, or just black and white like some of them?

[Razzamatazzboca]

I've only seen blk and white.
