Hi All-
I was lucky enough to pick up a Factory Hardtop last fall. The top needs to
be repainted my color (Damson) and needs the headliner replaced. So I
stripped down the liner and cleaned out the mouse nest and droppings (Hanta
Virus here I come!). Now I have a few questions:
1.) I see how the corner piece chrome fits - there is a nut(?) on the post
at the very end of the hard top fairing, and the inner edge fits under the
rear trim. So I think if I pull that nut off, I should be able to pull off
the corner trim. How does one remove the rear trim? I see some things that
look like rivets and it looks as though the trim is fastened by these, but
removing it looks like I would destroy the rivet thingies.
2.) In moving the top, I bumped it and I heard a rattle. I have all the
glass out and everything stripped out. When I shake it it sounds as though
something is inside the forward quarter window frames. I can't see what it
is, but I know it will drive me crazy if it rattles like that when it is on
my car! Anyone know that this could be?
3.) I have heard that the roof is pretty noisey in the rain. I was thinking
of some adhesive backed air filled honeycombed insulation with a space
blanket laminate. Opinions? Sources?
Thanks,
John Cyg.
Too chicken to pull his Overdrive.
PS. As an aside - Looks like my top started out Damson, went to Mallard,
then Pimento. Now back to Damson. Oh Well.
