66 Mustang Top

    Hey guys, hoping somone has gone through this before and can give me some insight.

    I’ve been working on this 66 mustang top and have tried adjusting the rear 1/4s on the tac strip several times without luck…

    I’m centered on the marks provided by the top mfg and decided to walk away and let it sit in a hot shop for the weekend before I adjust it again.

    If I pull slightly on the window opening they go away. I have not put any steam or heat to it yet, but had almost the identical wrinkles on a 2003 mustang top I did last year.

    My next step is to not stretch the top along the tac strip so much and see if that helps… it doesn’t need much. Just hoping I can get this looking better

    Thanks!

    Leave the back bound edge where it is. The top needs to be pulled about 1/4 inch at the 3rd snap fastener and then worked forward. The wrinkle will come out.

    Thanks Fred! I’ll give that a shot, my front section at the c pillar is where it belongs but I’ll pull down and forward slightly in that area while leaving both ends.

    I seem to struggle with these mustang tops, being self taught I never had the opportunity to look over the shoulder of somone who’s done it for 40 years!
