Posts: 265 Thanks: 1 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: Hardtop I finally got my hands on my 'new' hardtop today and noticed that there is a huge gap between the hard top and the windshield corner on the passenger side... any ideas on how to sort it out? even on the driver's side there is a gap. A quick comparison of the hood rubbers and the hard top rubbers showed that the former has larger knobby things on its end on either side than the latter, thus I think it is logical for the hardtop not to fit properly. It should be noted though that I dont have the spike brackets yet and that I have shortened the rear clips as much as possible... Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Posts: 723 Thanks: 13 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: Hardtop ...looked at the seals again today during the weekly clean (complete waste of time in a rural area where the favourite traction is donkey cart..with roads to match.. )Curved seal from the top of the windscreen pillar matches perfectly with the opposite curve in the seal in the hardtop. I was wondering when I fitted it if it needed a mastic beading but so far its been fine, in some atrocious weather.. You sure the hardtop has the right seals fitted?
