This thread is padding my post stats.. LOL

 

yeah, I looked at both pics after that post and I agree, they look the same to me.

 

LOL same here by the time this is done i'll have over 100 finally

 

When I do the sail panels first, and pop all the blood vessels in my eyeballs to pull it down, it's 2 inches short of meeting the window. I'm beginning to think something is bent. That latch wont fit even when it isn't latched, I tried both ways.

 

He is going to kick himself if just opening the latch fixes it.

 

Ill have to ask Eddie or one of the mods. I wonder if a chat room has ever been tried here. Would be nice for something like this...

 

I got it, I didn't pull the latch ALL the way back. FML. I'm going to go drink myself to sleep.

 

if you open the latches and just get the hooks on, can you pull down on the back and get the sail panels snapped in? The key here is the keep teh latches open. you can pull down on the back ow the top quite a bit to gain some slack.

 

Benny,
In this pic you have it perfectly, just open the latches and lock them when hooked on the loops. In this pic the latch is showing closed.

 

First things first, everyone is right, the back sails have to be on first. You said you're in Texas? I bet it gets kinda chilly in the evening compared to the daytime. Soft tops shrink like nobody's business when the sun goes down. I experience this all the time in the summer here in CT. Top up and down no problem with the sun shining on it but then come night fall and the temperature drops 15-20 degrees and no direct sunlight heating up the top its a real pain in the ass getting it sealed up. Attach the rear sails first and the latches seem like they will never reach, but they will. I basically hang on the front and pull, hard, to get the latches to reach. It takes some effort, lots of cursing, but I get it. If you try that and still can't get it I say give it a shot tomorrow afternoon after its been baking in the sun for a bit. Good luck.
