yeah, i don't know how the two tops can come from the same company. the two are totally different.
russ from chaser explained why this latest batch didnt fit so well on another thread somewhere.something about them being stacked and exposed to heat or something then they sagged on the edges which created gaps. supposedly you can heat up these frp tops and "mold" them back to fit more properly. i dont know if that is true or not.

If I'm buying a product that I'm paying $1000 for or close I shouldn't have to remold it to fit right. Also, based on those pics above there is no way anything is being shaped and it going to fit right. Any way you move those corners to make that gap close up and you've now put the corners where they aren't supposed to be.
yea i totally agree. im in no way making any excuses for them. they should be test fitting ever single piece that goes out the door. it takes 2 seconds to lay the top on and check fitment. but we all live and learn. even russ/chaser.

^exactly. I'm not saying they need to bolt every top down to test fitment but something as simple as resting on the car would at least guarantee the fitment around the windshield was spot on.

my dscf top appears to have the same issue around the corners where they meet the windshield. its almost like the corner tips are to tight or close together...... wondering if it will be fixable.... anybody got any suggestions?

below the rear window looks like its flexing up alil but overall its a pretty good top. The weatherstripping looks good too.
