Thread: top down ?

  1. #1

    Default top down ?

    are you supposed to unzip your window when putting down the top?
    i was reading on the pointy board in product reviews of robinns tops and some wehre talking about unzipping the window to put down the top.

    on the NA cars with teh plastic window, yes, you're supposed to unzip the window and lay it flat before lowering the top. The plastic is not nearly as resilient as the rest of the top and will wear, crack, and cloud over time...

    Yeah, what he (^) said.

    Provided you don't have a roll bar...

    When I had my rag top folded, I could not unzip the window because it would not lay flat. So I just rolled a big towel into the fold whenever the top was down.

    When I did my 92 B&T I bought the top from www.cabrioworld.com

    It was a very nice aftermarket top and was about 228 shipped to the door.

    I had it installed but I put a used top on my 92 blue myself. It's not very hard and the instructions are out on the pointy board.

    If you want to go that way, I can help.

    You'll find it to be a good investment to get a new rain rail as well.
