Got a delivery from a certain online store yesterday



Box full of t-top weather stripping

 

Yay.. no more rain inside Sofie.

 

i did not read all this (i believe i got to page 12 and gave up) but how is the car running Darling?

YES YES YES 100 POSTS YAY

 

Yup, no more raining on me! If I do it right...bah.

Sofie...runs. She's getting more work done at the end of the month. I get the garage all to myself, so I have a 'small' list of stuff to work on, as well as the weather stripping installation at the same time. The gears are also going to be purchased and installed soon so I can get my tune back in. It's just sitting in my room right now...should be in my car :/

 

very nice so far

 

Oh look, she's getting torn down again











I did one side of the weather stripping. It is NOT fun to do.











Case also got me a new sway bar for xmas.

 

Merry X-mas!! Looks good. I know all about the weather strip and I feel for you. The next side will go easier since you already know what to expect. The sway bar looks good too. I wish my sig other knew what kind of car stuff to get for me!

You too! It is nice knowing basically what each other needs for the vehicles...ha. Oh and Mass, how do I get the t-tops to fit better? I can barely get them down and locked. Should I use a heat gun to soften the material and 'form' it to the top? The other side was much easier. Not only because I knew what to expect, but that side seemed to fit perfectly. Yes, the inside is a disaster area right now. A lot is getting done at one time.

 

adjust the latches up a little bit. The tops should lay down in the roof smooth without forcing them down. A little uplift was normal when these cars were new.

Hm, can you explain how to adjust them? It still confuses me a little. I'm afraid if I try to force and lock them down, it'll only take one bump or turn to snap them in half under that much pressure.
