Back in March, I had a new Top put on the mustang. All of the components for the top worked fine, meaning the convertible top motor and supporting pieces. They worked great, and never once had a problem. This is before I had the new top put on.
Well, I always drive with the top down, since the weather is always great. But I rarely drive the car. Every time I put the top up, it has been a pain to latch both sides down. I have spent around 5 minutes nearly everytime I wanted to put the top up. I need about another 1/8 of inch in all reality to align the "j" hook latch into the hole.
Last time I drove the car I just 'flopped' the top up, but did not latch it. This morning I went out to latch the top, so I could wash the car, but to my luck after fighting for 10 minutes I could only get one side latched.
This is my question. Do you think the top wasn't put on right( due to the fact it has been a pain in my butt to put up)? Or is the old motor finally giving out(which never once had a problem before)?
They did the top on my mom's Cobra the next week and it had an awful wind noise, but she traded the Cobra in shortly after.
