cobra soft top installation

video still in process of the necessary parts and installation of a soft top on a cobra

[@cnev3824]

the top is nice but it needs some kind of weatherstrip for along the top across the windshield , cause it leaks like a sive when driven in the rain , as i say the top for these cars is just the illusion of staying dry , and dont forget to seal the bottom of the windshield to the body as water will come in under it ,

[@nickacton9006]

Yes we use a weather strip inside the split header bows. I disagree with sealing the bottom rubber to the body. You want them to flex and not stress.

Hey Nick, what is ti vinyl top you used. I thought I heard Triumph. Will a Spitfire top work? And...how to get the windshield header bows. I have rear top bows from a 1965 MG Midget that look like they could fit. Please help, Jeff

I use a Robbins soft top and tonneau cover made specifically for Cobras and have them available on our website. www.actoncustom.com/products/p/soft-top

Is there a part 2?

[@nickacton9006]

I believe I ran some more video. I will go back through my files and find it when I get chance. Are you ready to install one on yours,

[@gregcarmody8018]

Did a test fit, and really can't see how I can fit it without major modifications. The rear doesn't seem to sit well, especially the corners. And the top section seems like it doesn't have enough support. I'm really worried I won't be able to get it looking right without any wrinkles.

@gregcarmody8018 do you have a roll bar you are trying to work around? How did you get your lift-the-dot post layout?

[@gregcarmody8018]

@@nickacton9006 yes I need to work around a full width single rollbar. I lowered it a bit which helps. May need to bend it forward a bit so the corners can reach.

Where did you buy the headers bow latches? (Original)

[@nickacton9006]

Hi Richard, I make these, and I'm not sure I'll be making more any time soon.

@@nickacton9006 Then, where did you get the replica ones? I have had my car for over 15 years and haven´t been able to get the soft top arts I need. Your help would be greatly appreciated
