Hey I'm looking for a picture of the rear corner with the material installed.
Looking to see how far the stitching goes on the rag.
I have two new tops, one the stitching goes right to the back and on the other it stops before the rear bow. |

and now for my other question, should the top be sewn all the way to the back like this?
Or to just before the rear header like this?
and heres the top views
(camera didnt like the material, looks weird)

do you have a better picture of the top of the rear corner?
edit
nevermind, you can see in the last picture that it has stitching all the way to the back of the top. so the rear header clamps the last 3 inchs of the material and the rest simply folds over it towards the front.
is it supposed to be glued, or just leave it loose ontop of the header? |

|
|
Hello Everyone, sorry to come in so late in the game, but up until now, I hadn't had a reason to look deeper into the specifics of the 56 ragtop.
I own a Oct/Nov 55, which makes it a 56- two fold. I have the round corners in front, square in back. I'm in the process of restoring the entire mechanism and have come to one hurdle.
It appears that there was some kind of white strap belt (possibly nylon) that was attached to several of the sliding bows. I believe it's function is to help pull the bows together in unison when you close the sunroof cover.
Has anyone dealt with these and if so, where can I purchase something similar that would work?
One last question, I may have missed in the earlier posts, what type of cover material is correct for Oct/Nov sunroof? Canvas or Vinyl?
Thanks
Mark |
