My glass is about to fall out and for some reason the cloth on the bottom will not reach were it sould go(no matter what angle i leave the top at its about a 1/4" to 1/2" to short at the bottom)?Does the cloth shrenk? theres a small rip it the bottom corner anyway and I have not been able to figure it out how to strech or pull the cloth back to place to silcone it. I am going to check some on a new one from Dal and see what www.speedautomotive.com has. If I buy a used one I think I would have better luck with the newest year I can get hopefully. Are the TA tops the same? Any help on fixing my one or these other questions would really be great. Please help. Alan

Alan,

Yes the cloth does shrink. And the glass can not be rebonded. Just doesn't work. So if your top as a whole is in good shape you would normally just have the panel and glass replaced. A good upholstery shop can do this in one day. Had mine done last month cost $419.30. I was told that this is going to happen about every 5 to 7 years.

Good Luck,
John
