Awhile back I bought another targa top from Jamie (jrust). At that time I went through the top and replaced all of the seals and painted the top with a flat black. As I have been storing the top in the trunk on rides I recently notice the top is getting scratched just above the rear rubber hold down on the drivers side. I also notice that the trunk is not closing completely on that side.
The question is what do I look for and how do I fix it? It appears the hold downs are in the correct location and the trunk lid closes correctly without the top inside. I'll post some pictures later today. |

If one of the front latches is damaged it may function to secure the roof to the car, but not fold properly for storage (actually go too far in the open direction). It can catch in the plastic cup and hold the roof tight to the trunk lid. I have one like this and find if I am very aware when putting the roof in the trunk all is well.
