top frame questions

my questions are about bows 2 and 4 (i think) (my rear pin isnt latched so the top isnt tight)(also its hard to get a pic one handed lol)
its an 88 camaro. i know they should move for the top to lower but am i missing something? springs or rods?? i will get some pics of the inside
it also seems my frame is very narrow where the sail panel would be, the top sides seem to lay flat as well.
can someone post some pics of their top up?? and i can compare the 2

it seems to me that bow 2 should be up a bit(not that drastic) where mine seems to sag or lay flat.





and bow 4 should be pushed to the rear(near the top seam)where mine is forward and the window seems to flatter than most ive seem

Re: top frame questions

I agree that your top looks really loose. Did you have it installed? Here is a picture of mine. I have only installed 2 tops so far and one was on my 88 Gt mustang..... that was a nightmare. I just took my time with it and measures 3 times.

Re: top frame questions

Also, when I ordered my top I believe there were 2 sizes available. I was told to measure from side to side on top.
