Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hey guys, I just installed my hardtop this morning and is the first time I have seen one on my car. My question is this. Is the Hardtop suppose to overlap the side and rear of the body a little? It seems to be on correct and tight, but never noticed on others that it overhangs a little on the side and rear. Thanks, Russ
There will also be what appears to be a gap along the rear, and that is entirely normal. I haven't put mine on yet for the winter, so I cannot comment on the overlap you mention (but it's probably normal).
pic?
Normal
It is normal.
i almost forgot how the hard top looks like on my car now. i didn't put it on last winter. the weather was so nice last winter, i remember driving around with top down in christmas eve
Yes, it's normal. Take a look at my avatar...you will see the overhang.
to the OP, did u hear "click" when u tighing the hard top? if u do, then u should be fine.
Thanks all! I realize now it's correct. I must admit at first I was like that looks weird. Now that I've looked at the car a few times, it really looks sick with the hardtop on it. Russ

Uhmmm.... Almost as good as a Coupe!
can't imagine having to drive with the top up let alone in a coupe or cab with hardtop...you gota love Southern Cali....I can still remember those snowy, windy, rainy...dark NYC days. I kind of like the hardtop look ....makes the cab special
Hardtop went on yesterday. As always, transforms and freshens the car a bit from summer driving.
Thought about putting mine on this weekend, but the weather was so nice just couldn't bring myself to do it.. soon, I guess. - Nick
I was driving w/the top down last night - beautiful night here - it was 39 degrees F out. A new low ( high? ). The EZ way to install it.

That so beats the hard way, which is getting my wife to help me carry it up from the basement and down the stairs to the driveway, then lift with all her might to get her side over the back of the car.
btw, if you tend hear creaks or groans from it, spray some dry lubricant on the rubber seals--especially along the back where seal rests on the paint.

What do you mean by dry lubricate? Do you mean silicone spray? Russ
