George,
Yes I understand.
I had to put the top up to drive to my daughter's wedding and it was only the
2nd time I had it up since the restoration was completed.
I do admit it is a chore but it is a tad easier than the 3.
I do have it adjusted quite nice and on the 50 mile ride not 1 drop of water
in the interior. The first and I hope the last time I have to drive in the
rain.
The 4 top does seal a bit better than the 3. Driest I have ever been in a LBC
in a driving rain storm.
It is an AMCO top and with all those top snaps and hooks + the overlap on the
front bow creates a real snug fit even at 60+ MPH.
ALso lots of work putting it down and hiding it under the interior. Similar to
the 3 with the separate hood stick cover but still easier, only 6 side snaps
+ the 4 on the carpet.
All part of the fun of LBC ownership.
Bob
