[Healeys] Top installation

[Quentin Schweninger]

Hello all,
  Daisy is about 98% complete. The last big job is installation of the  
top.
  Last weekend I unpacked the top and started to slip the steel  
stiffner into the pocket across the back, only to discover that the  
whole pocket is glued shut, all the way across the back.
  This pocket is 4' long and 1-1/2" wide, with a slight curve.

Another Screw up. Guess who?

Jamming something thru will leave me with a bigger mess than I have Now,
  Any ideas?
                    Dave and Daisy
