Hi all,

My new transmission's being delivered tomorrow and should be installed
sometime next week.  I can give feedback onlist about the R&R guy if
y'all want.  He came highly recommended to me by local people and is in
the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia in a little "town" called
Fishersville.  More on that later.

While the guy was towing the Vanagon over the mountain to Fishersville,
a truck driver flashed him and pointed to the back of the tow truck.
Apparently the poptop had popped up and was bouncing up and down!
Aaaauuugghhh!!!  I had noticed one day when I closed a door that the
poptop came up a little, but figured that I hadn't latched it properly.
Being somewhat nervous about this, I checked the latch this morning,
before it was supposed to be towed, and it was latched tight.  Has
anybody had this happen before?  This isn't a common phenomenon I hope?
What do you do to fix it?

Thanks,
Marc Perdue
