cheers for the reply Jim, i may have it figured out now
it looks like a previous owner had been a bit ham fisted (odd since its usually me that breaks things) and not had the center lug aligned properly when latching the catches which has led to the angle plate bending in and breaking the fiberglass structure on the header rail leading to the center point riding up the screen top and not sitting flush. i have made a new wider catch today from stainless steel and riveted and bonded it to the header rail, it certainly feels secure but i have yet to try to fasten it yet before the adhesive sets, maybe tomorrow. http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/jindal/DSC01192.jpg http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/jindal/DSC01193.jpg http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/jindal/DSC01194.jpg On Apr 5, 8:53 am, "Jim Hearne" <[email protected]> wrote: > That's a lot further proud than it should be, it should be pretty much > flush. > Does your header rail have the 3 recess in it that the blocks locate into ? > Can you take a picture of the front of the header rail ? > > Jim > > -------------------------------------------------- > From: "jin" <[email protected]> > Sent: Monday, April 04, 2011 9:11 PM > To: "Quantum Owners Group" <[email protected]> > Subject: [Quantum Owners] soft top fitting > > > > > ok so i know my soft top is in terrible condition but i thought id > > have a go at fitting it prior to getting a replacement, after much > > stretching and pulling i got it into place but the middle of the > > header rail appears to sit proud of the screen top? is this normal? it > > appears to be located onto the 3 lugs that protrude from the screen > > top but really doesn't look very flush > > >http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/jindal/DSC01190.jpg > >http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/jindal/DSC01185.jpg > >http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/jindal/DSC01184.jpg > >http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/jindal/DSC01183-1.jpg > > > does anyone have any suggestions? > > > thank you > > > Justin > > > -- > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > > "Quantum Owners Group" group. > > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > > [email protected] > > For more options, visit this group at > >http://groups.google.com/group/quantumowners?hl=en > > > IMPORTANT NOTE: All information presented herewith is provided on an "As > > Is" basis, without warranty or the implication thereof.
