Hello,

I have a Robbins Brand top (stripe and z/o window) that I am trying to 
install.  I have the top already riveted to the rear stiffening angle and 
all the header rail rivets in EXCEPT the last one on each end.  Here's 
the problem:  I can't seem to get those two front corners (the ones on 
each end of the header rail) to fold/bend(?) quite right under the rail.  
That, and I have no idea how those little flaps on the front are supposed 
to get folded under and riveted down.  Every way I have tried it has made 
it look messy on the outside of the car.  The top won't follow the the 
curve of the header rail (On all the front rivets I followed the 
pre-chalked line on the top).  Any ideas...  Thanks in advance.
