Having finally decided to put the hard top on for the 'winter' and save up for a new roof and rubber seals I found to my horror that I couldn't turn the drivers side handle to fully clamp the thing down. :bang:
Several attempts later, checked the handle moves freely when off the car, checked the position of the hood cover, checked for any obvious blocks, back on, a few position changes and still the handle wouldn't close properly.
Passenger side closes with no problem whatsoever.
The first time in eight years that I have had a problem with the hard top. I can see it's not sitting right before and after the side levers are clamped as it looks as if its higher on the driver side than the passenger side.
Slightly irritating to say the least.
I went for a drive around the block and oh, deep joy, wind noise coming through, which can be made more musical by moving the visor.
I will have another attempt this weekend, but the car is going in for a service [including belts] on Tuesday, so will get the garage to have a look if I haven't figured it out.
OK rant over, and I haven't even begun on Zem's guide to hard top motoring about not being able to take the roof down on a crisp winter day.
