[Tigers] Hardtop/Windshield Install

[Tom Parker]

Tym,

I'm fighting the same problem with my Mark 2. By the time I got the top to
fit at the "B" post the angle at the windshield was too tight (closer at
the top by quite a bit.) I'm still working on that...

There is one fixed point: the "B pillar. The boot hinges are (more or less)
adjustable - the trick is to get the gap around the boot lid right... and
the windshield is adjustable. I ended up taking out Tom Hall's windshield
frame adjusters; it was that tight. So I'm trying to figure out how to get
the gap between the windshield and the "wing" windows (I guess they're just
"triangle" windows..) right. I s'pect there's a small adjustment available
behind the door panels, but I haven't pulled them off yet (it's hard to do
from 600 miles away...).

So, Tym, I'm really interested in what you see and how you fix it...

Tom
'67 Mark 2
