So I just added a 96 Spyder GST to the collection and there's a few issues with the top. This is all new to me. I've tightened the latches and cleared the A pillar drains, but it still leaks on top of the drivers side pillar, and I assume it's because the sailcloth isn't seated properly (see attachment). The passenger side looks fine. How can I pull this over and attach it properly? Note the weatherstrip over the window is crooked as well, I assume because of this...
Also,this first bow isn't attached. The PO was manually removing it to put the top down (no headliner) and obviously putting undue stress on the 21 year old fabric every time he put it back. One of the attaching arms is completely bent in half. Is this fixable? Can I just unbend and reattach? If so, can someone post a diagram or pic as to how it's supposed to look? Apparently it was removed because it would get snagged when the top went down. So far I've just been driving without it but it looks goofy.
The only other thing is the driver's side quarter window doesn't go down at all. I checked the connections and they appear OK, but before I go ordering a $80 motor I was wondering if there's any tricks to fixing this. If the window doesn't work with either the door button or top button, could it still be a crack in the wire in the door hinge harness? Or is it most likely the motor since the vert top button doesn't lower it automatically?
