Soft Top Compartment Seal - Glued in or not?
« on: May 02, 2023, 16:45:25 »
The soft top compartment seal seems to be very happy just placed in the channel made for it. However, in reading about raising and lowering the soft top it seems that the soft top can get caught on the seal. This suggests the need to glue the seal in place. Thank you in advance for any and all advice.
