I think I will have to remove it to fix it. It needs to be glued between the two layers where it is folded, and this can't be done with the top on. ( I have to clean out all the glue I put on it.)
I looked in the "SRT service manual" and I cannot find any instructions on removal of the top.
I thought of driving down to get your help, but it would be one day to take the top off, one day to glue the fold, one day to glue in the glass, then one day to put the top back on. I think I can do this but it would help if I could see some instructions on R&R. I assume there are some sequences that must be followed.
Please tell me again where the R&R instructions are located.
Thanks!
When I did my roadster top.. I just fingered a layer in the fold before doing the bead for the glass. When the top first cycles and raises the rear bow.. could you not maybe use a popsicle stick and smear a layer in? Then use towels and lower the bow to keep that seam pressed together while it cures? I only had to "clean" where the previous owner used a standard clear silicone.
