So really only Sunday to find some time on the car and as I've come down with at least a cold, I wasn't venturing outside to the garage until the ice had melted off anything stationary.
Assembled the soft top bows to refit the rear stay mounts and the side windows to re-check everything fitted. All good there.
With soft top trims how does the soft top seal between the front of the window frame and the rear face of the windscreen where they meet?
I ask as Marty didn't overcome the dimensional vagaries of the car and set up. Though the driver's side frame is nicely flush to the screen, the passenger side has a pretty constant gap of about 10mm.
I'm guessing there is perhaps some material that gets sandwiched between to provide a weather seal. Might mean both frames need some minor mods to better fit up the top. We will see.
And I assume there is some sort of protective layer trimmed to the underside of the frame where it meets the paint? I put down a couple of layers of paint tape to protect the door tops whilst doing this fit up.
And have essentially finished at the front end with all looms refitted under the guards, headlights and covers on, engine bay complete and wipers back in place. Still need to paint the inside of my over-riders and that will complete the front and rear look.
Need to review the boot loom arrangement, do some work on my heater air plumbing and consider what stereo option, particularly speaker arrangements I need and then I can start folding up aluminium.
Enjoy
