Top trying to "fall" closed Hi all you guy's
When I close my top, when it starts closing, all is fine, then when it gets past the "vertical" it falls closed about 10 inches, and I have to catch it with my hand or it will hit the top of the windscreen.
Any ideas?????
Opening is fine, no probs.

Mine gathers a loada' speed when past the vertical.
Im'e sure when I got it, it was smooth all the way, and like you said, pull it the last half inch.
BTW, I still have to pull it the last half inch to get to closed
Any more ideas ??????
