Default Re: Covertable top seams/New Top

Wasnt really sure where to post this, so just added it to last summers post.
So I received my new Top from BAS about a month ago, and finally got it on last weekend. For those of you who have used BAS before, yes Becca is still there and very helpful. Anyway I decided to get the Tan Top because the black one is super hot in South Louisiana. Not sure how traditionalist might think about that, but?
Anyway, even though there were no instructions it was really quite straight forward, of course I did this last summer as well so. BTW, my repairs on the old top held up quite well, except for the window on one side was starting to open up more then I would of liked.
First thing I would like to mention about the finished product, it was so tight I could not fasten the front latch without the wife turning the handle while I was pressing down from the outside. Gotta say I was quite nervous, so I wrote Becca, and she told me this was normal, 4th day now and it has loosen up some, least I can fasten it myself. After getting the old one off, I had the Wife replace the elastic on the Frame Straps. All in all it only took about 3.5hrs in 96deg heat.
My Top is still having issues when left for a few days, while waiting for the Wife to finish the straps, I checked all the switches I could find (this was an after thought) and they all worked fine. Sometimes the Top works just fine, then the rear deck goes up about 4 inches and stops. But I found Pizzaguys Thread so I think we will get to the bottom of the issue soon.

Still havent figured out why/where my Batt drain went, but still got my fingers crossed.

Set in Sun to stretch
