Spyder Questions Help please

[Tom3kGT]

Hey guys,
I just got my new 98 Spyder GS-T. I am having some issues with the top and I needed some help. Well first off heres the new car.

Now it seems like when the top goes down the passenger side stays up farther than the left, than it bounces around. I dont know if you can see it but here.

Also the car vibartes like crazy when on the highway, any connection with the top?
And how do you get that cover thing on?

Thanks,
Tom

The ribs are most likely bent out of wack, or the fabric isn't folding right.. I had that problem a few times, and gave it a little persuasion and it went down, ultimately had to replace the fabric due to rear window leaking, but check the ribs on it.

put the top half up/down (optimistic? ) and look at the (i dont know what to call it) guide bar..basically its a small metal rod between the rail and the ribs on the roof (you'll know which one it is: its kinda skinny and has like a twist in it) it basically keeps the roof inline when going down. mine was also broken on the right side, i usually have to guide it back to make sure it rests properlly

There is a cable and motor on each side,I would check the cable on the passenger side to see if its as tight as the drivers side,probably with the top halfway like mentioned.

You might wanna check the elastic that pulls the ribs together when it folds. I had this problem with mine and this was the fix. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2079777
