Convertible top

[Two Crabs]

Does anyone has a schematic of the pivot points for the Convertible top frame on a 1973 Eldorado. ?

Mine is binding in spots and does not come up evenly.

It is a pretty unique design and its normal for them to look pretty crooked and jerky at some points along its travel. 

What point does it seem to be binding and crooked?

About halfway up it starts to bind I will take some photos .

Watch the forward bow.  That would be the cross bar that would be above your head if you were sitting in the front seat.   Its on a short arm.  There is supposed to be some cables that help pull those arms in the correct direction.  If those cables are out of adjustment or missing the arm on the drivers side will usually flop forward instead of back and it will bind up real bad especially when it gets close to almost being fully closed.
