Re: 90YJ Softtop help
Sir,
My rear "bow" slides on a track, bolted to the body,
the bestop shows a rear bow angling off at a 45deg angle fromn the
middle bow,
mine doesnt have this,
my rear bow,, the feet will slide foreward to loosen, after un-coupling
a plastic
tube that holds a folding rod from the center-bow to the rear bow,
sorry if im confusing you, this vertical rod sits above the rear
windows,
going from center-bow back to rear-bow,hinging in the center, to loosen
everything up
any other makers?
help,,,
thanks,,
johnp
