hello all, we removed our pop-top to paint and put on new seals and new tent. it's now all re-assembled, but the top won't shut. we've tried making adjustments to the bolts in the back that attach to the lid on the side and have some lee-way, but still no luck. we also tried adjusting the rear brackets that hold the pop-top to the van, but that didn't help, either. i figure with the new seal and new tent, there might be some stiffness in closing the top that wasn't there before, but at this point, while it closes to within an inch of two of latching, it will not latch. the only thing i haven't tried, is asking my 300 lb son to climb up there and jump up and down. any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated! thanks, thom |
