New Top

We had to wait around the shop for an hour and a half past the promised time while they finished up the top install this afternoon. It is a Robbins Streamline Top and it looks a lot cleaner than the OEM unit because it lacks the top seams and the extra panel around the back window. The top is a different shade of tan, a bit darker and browner, but unnoticeable to probably everyone but me. That sucker is as tight as a drum and it took two guys at the shop to get it closed, so we’ll probably leave it up for a couple days to stretch out. Because the old top had stretched loose over the years it had become easy to ignore the fact that the passenger side top latch is broke, but now it is going to need fixing. The latch itself works, but the locking tab that keeps it shut has worn making it possible to come undone if I hit a big bump or something. Guess it is time to buy a new one…
