I would check the 4 hinge hold down bolts for tightness. I think they have goop on them for sealing.Maybe take one out and check.Next, I would check the slots in the hinges, and see if they are adjusted all the way to either end of the slot.If adjusted all the way towards the front, perhaps the water is entering the rear end of teh pop top.Check your gasket to see that it is fully pushed onto the fiberglass.Last, the two adjustment bolts on the handle need to be adjusted so that the top is down tight in the front.It can be a tight squeeze to open the top when the handle is adjusted right. |
