I had my top replaced about 7 years ago in. A local,shop. Good guys, said they had experience with the six or tops...and I don't deny it. However, Experian;Lt...it looks great, it is a vinyl top which I was told was superior to a canvas top.. I did replace whatever hardware they suggested, also I changed out the motor and relay to new units. I also replaced the rubber trim. The windows done really close fully without twisting, I can stick my hand between the frame and the top at the drivers position....lots of little things. Here's my question:

I live in Paducah, Ky...FAA e]western KY. Does anyone know of a shop that trulyu drrstands alignment and how to tweak on of these tops for perfect/good fit? I don't have a problem traveling if it with the car, just need to find a shop that knows them. Thanks.

Can you post a picture of what you are describing?

Has this happened suddenly? or over a long period of time?

It might be a simple fix.
