I realize the list appears to be down, but I hope this gets through before I
leave for vacation this Friday.
My 1980 westy's poptop does not pull down tight on the right side.
This causes a lot of noise when driving into headwinds and does nothing for
my sense of security and confidence that it's not going to bond with the
pavement behind the car.
I have gone through both my books and although I have find a way to adjust
the poptop fore and aft, nothing tells me how, if at all, to adjust the
tightness of the poptop when pulled down.
The left side seems fine, the right is just cocked up less than half an
inch.
As a postscript, I have installed a new rubber seal to fit between the
poptop and the front luggage area.
Thanks in advance.
Onward thru the fog
