So I have the top almost done (I have not glued the middle three bows yet) and I noticed the velcro is not lining up. It looks like the side wire is in the way. Did I do something wrong?

Re: Did I Screw Up?
the wire goes thru a loop hole tab at the base of the window on the body. i have seen the tabs break off though, when that happens to me i use the screw at the rear top hold down just below the window, run the cable under the screw to make the wire pull as directly down as possible. i know this sounds vague i hope it makes sense to you.

I think I found them. Thanks. Gonna let the top strech out overnight and then glue the three inner bows tomorrow.BEEK wrote:the wire goes thru a loop hole tab at the base of the window on the body. i have seen the tabs break off though, when that happens to me i use the screw at the rear top hold down just below the window, run the cable under the screw to make the wire pull as directly down as possible. i know this sounds vague i hope it makes sense to you.
