Thanks, y'all. Yea, that's a clone all right. Very nice! Hopefully your top seals better than mine. Mines been bent for awhile so I have to use a 1/4" vacuum hose for a gasket (lay it across the existing gasket, close the doors on each end and lock it home). It's rigged but it works.

One of the gas struts popped off and the top slammed down pretty hard. I don't know if this bent the thing or if someone sat on it while it was down.

Regardless, I've tried loosening the bolts that hold it to the body to reposition it, and a number of other things, to no avail. Even tried numerous top shops around Houston, but noone wants to mess with it.

Time to get out the torch and do some pursuading. That or cut and reweld it. Need to find welder that won't set the top on fire!

See ya.
