all, i replacd the rubber around the windshield at the top where the targa top seats. and now i cant get the front hooks to go all the way backup to the top of the top. i can get the hooks to grab on, but i cant push the handle up all the way. in fact, i broke one of the plastic handles already thinking a little muscle would do the trick. any ideas?

The seal will relax, but also the locking handles are adjustable. You may have to loosen them up for your fitment |

Try talc ( baby powder) on the leading edge of the top. That should help
