T tops????

Does anyone know the best/correct way to put in your t tops? After dropping in, are you supposed to push them all the forward or all the way back? Thanks.

Re: T tops????

They should be centered, dude.
If you have that much play towards the front or rear, you can remove the interior trim from your A pillar and sail panel to reach the t-top mounts and adjust them for better fitment.

Usually, you should insert the t-top into the center piece at a very slight angle, push toward the center of the vehicle and then lock them into place with the handle on the t-top itself.
