I'm not an expert on much of anything pertaining to Sprites, but I have a
two-piece, spring-loaded top frame, so maybe I can help. The spring loading
at the bottom of the frame keeps the tension off the top while you're
installing the top. After you've fastened the front and back of the top, you
release the springs, which takes up the tension. When the top has been
installed, both sides should have "sprung" springs -- the top should be a
little taller. My top frame has two cylindrical sleeves that can be turned
to keep the springs in the tensed position. If you have those sleeves -- and
I can't tell from your letter if you do -- they should be made to turn freely
so the springs can be used when installing the top.

How about CAPONE in honor of his vault, which turned out to be not all it was
cracked up to be (and because of the crook who sold you the car.)
