Ragtop opening



Just finished installing my rag top 1965 21 window. How far should it open.
Seams like it should open further but don't want to force it.

Thanks Terry

I grabbed a few pics from the Gallery from searching on 1965 21-Window, this looks accurate:

I might go back a little bit further than that too, the cross rails almost touch each other when fully open.

Sometimes you have to push the bows up as you push it back so they stack up on each other.
