Kevin - if you're watching, I wouldn't blame you if you took your car over to ERA and let Doug fit you top. This thing promises to be a real pain.







I'm reflecting on where to go next. Doug advised the main bow would have to be bent forward to bring the top forward to close the gap behind the side windows. Most of the bend I've put in it so far has been around the pivot for the rear bow. After studying it awhile, I think from the top wrinkles behind the windows, that I need to bend the bow down lower just above the ferrule. Bending it at the pivot is just spreading the distance between the top of the bows further apart than the top is sewn for. Probably work on it more this weekend.
