Wrinkles in back window

Postby Gazbo » Thu Aug 10, 2006 11:09 pm

Anyone know how I can get my rear window to be nice and tight without the wrinkles?

My previous soft top (and original of 16 years) had no wrinkles in it. Sorry, no idea how to get rid of them.

The top on my '89 (presumably original???) has no wrinkles. But it is a tight fit, I really have to struggle and fight with it some days to get it closed (especially on chilly evenings). Not sure of any way you can tighten it without major surgery though...?

Is that an original roof (like factory one) or one that has been installed later on?

As far as I know, roof is a Mazda replacement roof. It just doesn't seem to -quite- fit as though it should in some places.

how is it when it zips up? is it tight and hard to zip or loose...

is it a problem with the stitching around the window or is it because its not being pulled tight enough by the zips?
