Guys,

Just bought glass t-tops to replace my Lexan tops. However, one side fits fine but the other seems to not fit and seems to be pushing back about 1/4 inch. I know they need to be adjusted but could the rod be bent on the t-top? can that be adjusted at all?

First shots are before and after you close the latch...

 

Here is before and after of weather stripping and gap in front and the triangle gap in the red box...

Any ideas?

 

Anyone?

 

manufacturing diffrences is what I suspect. they are all just a lil different. if you can try another t top on that side to confirm.

 

Wow, that's crazy. I didn't even know that was possible, thought all ttops were the same? I hope I don't have that problem if I switch to glass. I'm going to try polishing my Lexan tops first. Great tech thread on here about it.

 

don't bother. the best, and only ones, are glass.sure , you can polish, hope, and pray but in the end the sun will do what the sun does to lexan.

 

Meh, I'll give it a shot first. The article on here really is pretty good. Wether or not I can duplicate the results is another story.....

 

You could remove your a and b pillar trim and try to adjust the slots back and forth.
Maybe push the t-top a bit to the front that way.
If that only moves the issue from the back to the front or whatever, there's nothing more you can do there :/

 

Thanks for the input. It is almost like the rod is too long. I thought about cutting the rod and putting another rod inside of it. Still a few holes in the rod until I get it adjusted right and weld it together. I need to replace the seals...could I just swap out my old hardware to the tops. However, I would have measure because the new rod might have the same issue.

 

After making some adjustments they fit fine now. The one top was hitting a piecw of metal in the a-pillar. Once I adjusted the mount down a bit it fit fine.
