been near 30 years since i installed a new top on our 54. about to install a new one on our 55 . can't remember if the 2nd and 3rd bows are extended foreward to their FULLEST before installing the straps and pads, but i think that's their position before the strap/pads are installed. anybody done one lately whjo can confirm or deny my thinking? thanks guys,mike

Re: 53-55 soft top installation
Mike, according to John Kennedy's instructions, "Center bow measurement at center of bow, down to the floor along side tunnel, should be 40" +/- .250. Lug at siscor is not a stop. Adjust .50 between".
2nd Design Frame
"Measuring same as above, should result in measurement of 38" +/- .250".
I have used several of John's tops and never had an issue, as long as his instructions are used. Geometry of the top frame is critical for the top to fit.
