I am in the final stages of getting my 74 back together.
The T-Tops are breaking my b---s.
I put new weather stirping on and now the are very hard to put in place and lock in.
They are also hitting the top of my front column post.

Any advice would be a big help.
Thanks

The Factory Service Manual has adjustment procedures. I suspect since the new W/S is uncompressed, you'll need to loosen the adjustments.

The new W/S will take time to "form fit".
I can't wait for pics when you're done!!!

Finally got a couple of pictures I took with my phone.
Not the best shots but will give you an idea what she will look like.
