Robbins Top Install Issues
Hi All,
I wanted to reach out and see if anybody has experience installing convertible tops. I'm currently in the process of installing a Rpbbins cloth top and have ran into a few issues.
Basically, I cannot close the top. The front of the top, where it meets the front weatherstrip, has a 1 inch gap. I have gotten the top to the point where it aligns vertically, but the gap is still there. I have loosened the rear metal strip for the rain channel to give the top a bit more flexibility, but it will still not reach. Otherwise the fitment looks perfect.
Any ideas?. I have had the top sitting in an upright position for nearly 3 days (inside a garage). Should I just sit the car out in the sun?
Thanks!

Hello,
I am WillyP and I'm in Cary NC. I have a 2000 model S2K with the original top. I need a new top and an installer in the Triangle area. Can someone recommend one who can handle this competently at a reasonable price.

Another bump for Toyo! He did an amazing job on my 06 when the top was slashed. Even cleaned up after himself and when I asked he was able to have the job done while I was at work on a Saturday afternoon. A+++ Robbins 2520 black cloth top.
