[alfa] Re: Caribou Top Installation

["tarpon67" <tarpon67@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jason,

Put a Caribou canvas top on a couple of years ago and had the same experience - very tight! Be certain that the holes in the back below the rear window were put in the right place. Caribou doesn't give you lots of extra cloth to mess around with. My top did loosen up some but I did also have to adjust the top frame.

Regards,
Sid

Subject: [alfa] Caribou Top Installation 

Just installed my Caribou Canvas top on my '76 Spider. Having a hell of 
a time getting it to latch. Seems like it needs to stretch an awful lot. 
Is this normal? I think I could get it to latch if I had 2 more people 
helping, but I don't want to rip it or bend something. Can somebody 
relate their experience? FYI-I did the install in 75+ degree weather. 

Thanks,
