Thumbs down Sorry Sight !

Man I saw a sickening sight today on the interstate. A nice looking black Trans Am convertible went by me with the top blown up & stretched way out of shape , I mean the damn thing looked like it had a huge beach ball pushing up from inside the car. Doing about 70 . We both took the next exit and I watched to see if it would go down but it didn't. The guy was just sitting there at the red light with the top all bulged out like he was doing 90 or something. Very very depressing. Damn , I hope mine won't or doesn't look like that.

I know mine looks like that on the interstate right now. I need to get off my *** and tighten it up but I'm too lazy.

How much do you suppose a trim shop would charge to blueprint the damn thing ?

I did it, and worked great/pretty easy.
There's a write up on how to do it in the "top maintenance" sticky in this forum.
