Hey guys, well I recently installed modifrys straps and did the whole office flooring hole fix thing that is supposed to stop wear to the top. I did this about 2k miles ago.

Anyway When i put my top down i hold it till it stops and makes a nice squish noise, but doesnt seem to go down as far as it used to.

Anything I should check out having to do with this problem or take out the rubber stuff in my top?? Thanks

 

make sure that one of the middle bars is pushed back when it is lowering, mine tends to go forward keeping it from setteling all the way down. So whenever i put the top down i push the bar back to guide it in place.

 

okay sweet ill check that out

 

If you've installed Modifry's convertible top fix you've already addressed the issue that drkphnx discribed. The new elastic straps shouldn't be wearing out in only 2,000 miles.

 

ah... ok i thought he was speaking of a different bar further back.

 

 

That bar that the straps pull on should always be held back by hand when lowering the top. Even the straps don't pull that bar tight enough to allow the top to lower properly.

I teach this to all my customers, so they don't have top issues.

This applies to all s2ks, right up to 2007 cars that are brand new.

 

ah i see. Ill give this a try, makes sense. Cant think of anything else that could cause this problem, besides that rubber thing I put in to prevent holes.

 

how low is your soft top going that it isn't low enough for you?

and just out of curiosity... can you explain "office flooring hole fix thing that is supposed to stop wear to the top" i have never heard of this before.

 

How can you reach the bar while lowering the top at the same time?
