    The convertible top~ AaaRrrGhhhhhh!

    Okay. I've had this 67 since 77. I spent the last 6 years making it into a first class driver, cause that's what I've always done. Drive it. I kept all the old parts, and remanufactured them over the years. I've got it to the point where I'm down to the top. I've blasted, painted and put the bows back on the car.
    I've tried putting on the weatherstrip, the .46 blocks, everything I could possibly think of to put the top on and align it, but I need adjustment in the direction that isn't affected by the four front header bolts, the rear bow screws, and the actual tops mounts. It seems the top is too wide at the upper rear corner of the drivers side window. Is it necessary to drill new holes and taper the (I believe) #2 bow?

    I dont have a clue what the problem is. You want to send us a picture of what you are dealing with? Did it fit before you messed with it?
