I need a measurement.

Can a couple of you guys measure the distance between the top of the main hoop to the roof (canvas)? Basically just the gap between them.

Much appreciated!
Jason

Mine is 2-3/4" at the outer most edge and 3-1/4" in the middle.

Thanks so much for measuring that for me Your car is the best looking convertible I have seen!

Do you have the bolt in or weld in cage?

When you say "outer most edge" do you mean right where the bar starts to curve down the sides of the roof? I assume so. That was going to be my next (and last!) needed measurement.....right on the corner of that curve to the roof (the corner right behind the drivers head).

Thanks again Michael....this is a HUGE help!!

No problem. I do have a bolt in cage ( I like having the option of being able to pull it out).

And yes, I did take that measurement right before the bar starts to curve down.

So, there is ~2 3/4" clearance around that whole bend (from start of curve to end)?

Thanks again!

Right, I understand that part. What I need to know is the clearance at the end of that bend (same bend, just on the downside). Does that make sense? It seems that the clearance gets tighter where the bar and roof both start to move down (towards the ground).

So, essentially I just need to know the clearance between the end of that bend and the roof.

Wish I could just point it out, but I am sure you know what I am talking about.

I really appreciate the help

Ha I had to cut 3 1/2 inch. off my center loop to even get the top to close! Mine seems to be a little lower than most, but I like it alot better. Ill try and remember when I get home to measure it all for ya.
