Title: Rear top fasteners on Spyder Post by: peteracs on October 06, 2016, 06:07:48 AM Hi All
I installed my new top finally yesterday after it sitting in the house for many years.... Not my finest hour and would get a must do better on the school report, but I think acceptable. The issue I have is that when I tension it the clips will latch, but instantly unlatch on release, do I really need to have the small leather strap to hold them or am I doing something wrong?

I always found it easier to clip the roof from the outside. Lift the hood up with door open, locate latch to mount on roof, apply pressure to hood at hood / roof joint and then push back of latch to locate. And repeat on other side.

Yep done all that, the latches go fully home, but then immediately spring open, all very frustrating.... Peter Title: Re: Rear top fasteners on Spyder Post by: Hawk on October 07, 2016, 11:35:07 AM Very strange - maybe there is too much tension on the hood / it has not stretched into place yet?
