John- it was a good post. Evntho I had read the entire article, from the first
to the last thought covered, I reread everyhing. I think its a good idea to
add a few drops or Kroil oil or equilivant to the threads on the tension rods,
as they will rust in time and they break very easy- add it to preventive
maintances, as you may have a new top that will last for yrars, a person
should adjust the rods on ocassion, even if they return to the orginal last
thread previously exposed, so one day you or another lucky owner will have
rods that function. Now if I only had the springs or other items that make
that syestem as orginal.
Great donation of your time John. THANKS from me and Im sure I can speak for
almost everyone.

Hi Ron:
On thing that I did not mention in my top installation article is that tops
can be shrunk with steam. If you end up with wrinkles a hand held steamer
used
on the cloth side of the top will take them out but take care the material
shrinks a lot with very little steam. Also remember that the restoration
articles that I wrote are now 15-20 old and lots has changed although basic
top installation is pretty much the same.
