Subject: [Mgs] Poor fitting factory hardtop
=20
I have a factory hardtop that I am trying to fit to a 1980 MGB. With the =
window rolled up, there is a 1/4 inch gap between the window and the =
weather seal on the top. The gap is the same on both sides of the car. =
Has anyone experienced this problem? If so, what was done to correct it?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
