NB softtop springs

Postby 91 Malibu » Sun Feb 13, 2011 8:45 pm

I am going to put an NB softtop on my NA6, when I purchased it, it had 1 spring off & the other hanging off the frame, wanting to know if I have them in the right spot in the pic below. If not where is the right spot & can someone put a pic up of how they are suppose to fit, before I put the softtop on my car.

If you can wait until thursday I'll get out my camera and take pics of how mine sits.

My roof hasn't been played with so it's all still in the stock positions.

Looks like that long spring may need to go behind the roof bow.
EDIT: sorry, jsut looked at your photo again, is it taken from the opposite side? (the side that faces the back of the car?)
