208 soft top question...
Haven't seen thus one before. At the rear of the soft top, it seems that it has pulled loose from the base of the soft top frame. It would appear that it wouldnt be too complicated to get it firmly pulled over the frame and properly secured,but I do want to be careful. I'll try to get a picture up...anyone experienced this, or can you point me to a thread or source to help? Thanks

I have the same problem. I can snap it back into place with some force, but it'll inevitably snap back out. My top needs to be replaced and apparently there is a vendor selling new tops for $350. Not sure how much labor is put it on though, but for an experienced top shop, it shouldn't be that much.

Thanks for reply...
My top is in great shape,but I think the clips that secure it to the frame are weak. My top guy says its an easy fix, and they have experience with it from (gasp) the chrysler crossfire which is apparently the same assembly. If you havent replaced them, you might get a quality top guy to replace them for you and see if that helps.....
