How to fix convertible top...

I would like to try and fix my convertible top this weekend, (the glue holding it down to the frame has come loose), and now when I drive the top raises up lke a bubble. I was just wondering if anyone has had this problem and fixed it, just need a little advice to point me in the right direction.

Re: How to fix convertible top...

just about every 4th gen f-body convertible I've seen has the bubble effect to the top at any speed... I assume mine does but I've never had someone else drive it to look at the problem...

I don't know what gets loose with time that causes the problem. I don't think its glue... I have a set of helms manuals for mine at home... I'll look at the top section when I get home tonight...

I have been told that replacing a top is something best left to professionals...

Mine does this but I haven't fixed it. It supposed to be glued at each rib.
