How bout convert?

[Guest ninjatinter]

Anyone done a convertible? Got one tomorrow,and have not seen it.

[oldtinter]

Yep...pain in the butt kinda. Well, not really, I just spent about 45 minutes figuring out how to get the top down. After that...no problemo..

[oldtinter]

OK...Now I remember the problem...It was something with the rear shelf, it needs to be in the lower position or the top won't move, or something like that.

[Guest ninjatinter]

So you have to put rear shelf in lower position then top comes down, soyou can get to the quarters, or the back glass? Does the rear have a border? or is it like the vette? Thanks for the reply, my friend

[oldtinter]

Yeah..make sure it's in the lower level, probably where it is now, but not so with the one I did....the windows go down with the top, but you can get them back up. Rear has a small border from what I remember, was a couple weeks, and alot of cars ago...

Right on man, I will snap some pics for the post

Ok, thanks again for the heads up OT. In this case it helped me out a ton!(I owe you a brew) This guy took out the tray to make it easy for us to get in the back, so if you wouldn't have posted the tip I could just see myself tearin this new rig apart trying to find the little button in the picture here! The tray goes down, and triggers the button. Then the top comes on dizzown.

This is a pic of the armrest screw cover AKA"armrest" That was not on the last hardtop I did, just pop a bone in the hole and blammo. you can see the trigger on the next pic. Other than that, thanks again dude!!!

I can imagine the fun you would have had figuring that out with the shelf removed... Wait a minute...that was my problem when he had it in the top position.. I swear I pushed every button on that car.
