                  The top is leaking a little, I think it's because it wasn't installed correctly.
                  When I close the passenger side door the top gets stuck to the window. Is there an easy way to adjust this?

                    hi - what part of your top gets stuck in the door - the frame, the cloth? this makes a big difference...
                    if the cloth - then the top is not fitting correctly to the frame -
                    if the frame 0r the seals on the frame, i would suggest taking the section off of the frame (drill out rivets - clean everything - perhaps get the new seal - and reinstall)
                    this can be done on most sections of the frame without removing or even really touching the soft cloth top.

                    ALSO - bump for drop top season!

                      i have added a few services today - including:
                      brakes
                      bearings
                      control arm bushings

                      might as well get these maintenance items taken care of while i would already have your car

                          Price check on Vagiclean, aisle five. I repeat: price check on Vagiclean, aisle five. That's Vagiclean. We've got a customer down here with a full-on fallopian fungus. I'm baking a loaf of bread and I think it's sourdough.

                            What a great deal.
                            How much to replace straps?

                              yeah - oregon is a bit of a stretch!
                              straps can not be replaced without replacing the top.
                              it may be POSSIBLE to - but there is too much risk of damaging the cloth depending on the age of the top.
                              to replace straps IN ADDITION to replacing the top, it adds $250 to the job

                                ok guys, i've been coming across more and more tops with very rusted hardware (under your seals) - so i am now replacing all of this hardware with stainless steel scrwes when i do the tops. this is the type of stuff that you will probably never see again, but you can be assured that these are the type of steps that i take - working on anyone's cars as if it was my own..
                                oh yeah - and this is still included in my flat pricing.
