<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We're looking at the top frame to be the culprit,
but really it is the one thing that's actually pretty consistent from car
to car. The top frame, a tightly rivetted structure that once its locked
in its over-center open position, can't really change its dimensions. The bows
must line up with the seams of an original or correctly tailored
top.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The thing that does change, is the car
itself. Five decades on, most cars have been rebuilt at least once, if not
more. Frames sag and get welded up without jigs, and door pillars
shift as sections are replaced during rust repairs. The windshield changes angle
slightly.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It is not unusual to fit a set of sidescreens
for the first time after a full body resto and find that the front of the screen
is not parallel to the windshield post. Its not the sidescreen that's at
fault.</FONT></DIV>
