Re: Engine 68592 Christopher Smith
It appears that he was familiar with the car/engine issue, but in a different direction-see here:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=34365
Here's one he posted (about top won't go down) that says he's in New Jersey.
Ok, I am clear on this now, I'm just a slow learner. I was not pulling the headliner and insulation out from in between the bows. It still does not go down much further. For some reason I thought that I had seen some cars that the top frame sat lower when retracted, but again that must have been wishful thinking. I do have a boot, and it fits snug. Thanks again for the attention. If anyone is in the north Jersey area and wants to get together for a drive, drop me a PM.
