[TR] fitting top

[Gary Nafziger <nafzigerg@yahoo.com>]

Initially fitting top on my tr-3 and I have some concerns maybe someone who's
recently done it can help me with.

It seems the bars on the top frame aren't
really lining up with the seams on the top; if I stretch the frame out to its
full length.  Starting from the rear the first bar fits on its seam an inch or
so above the rear window.  However the next forward bar lands about 4 inches
in front of the seam, if I'm looking at things correctly.  If I pull this bar
back to fit it's seam then the front of the frame sticks up at a strange
angle.
I should clarify that the seams I'm talking about don't run completely
across the top but just up the side edge of the top.  I'm wondering if things
will come out ok once I install snaps and stretch it over the frame. 
Everything so far is just loose fitting to see how it looks.
It might be
helpful if someone would be willing to measure the distance between bars front
to back on they're car.

Just wondering if others have had similar experiences
and how did they come out?

thanks
