English '92 ragtop

Hi guys from southern England, I have just purchased a new toy and this site looks like the place to be for info.
It's a 1992 Transam in dark green metallic and just 45000 miles on the clock. It did however seem to have had a harsh life as the front bumper has lots of spider webbing cracks and some lacquer coming off the tonneau cover.
I would like your opinion though on the top which the previous owner had fitted as I can see daylight through the rear quarter part of it, and it doesn't seem right down the sides, so I've included this picture for you to see. Thanks in advance.

Re: English '92 ragtop

The top looks like it's out of adjustment in the corners. underneath the backside of the window trim, when peeled back will reveal the rivet that helps hold the top to the frame. i had to remove mine and install in the lower hole which had been made bigger by someone( hence why he drilled holes higher up). find a bigger diameter rivet and re-install. also dont forget to re-install rear weatherstripping as its held on here also.

Cheers,

Chris
