top to cantrail fit

PostPost by: DJThom » Wed Aug 06, 2008 1:25 am

Hello All.

I tried to get my top sorted out this week. Should the edges of the top meeting up with the side windows tuck in behind the chome strips on the cantrail? I'm assuming yes, but if I do this the top is a bit baggy. If I put the top tight, the edges of the top overhang the chrome strips which doesn't look quite right.

Any suggestions?

thx

Just had mine on this past weekend and yes it snaps to cantrails behind chrome strip. My top had not been used in many years and was very tight to start but after a few hours of highway running it was a little on the loose side. I only have it along for big rain otherwise let the wind blow thru what is left of my gray hair!

Thanks for the tip. I figured so since it looked so clean that way. I hear you on the top! It's just that it pours every single year while driving home from one vintage race or another...usually the Pittsburgh VGP
