1956 Convertible Top Patch

[albjerryg]

Does anyone know where you can buy a patch for white convertible top. Also is there adjustment for the top latches(I put new rubber on and it tough to latch). Thanks....

The only thing I can think of for a patch would be marine sail patch. Most likely available through West marine. Which latches are you having a problem with? The front hook latches are held with an allen screw that can be loosened and then the hook latch can be unscrewed a turn or two. I need to remove a rear latch on both my hard top and soft top to replace broken springs, just soaking them with penetrating oil so I don't strip the screw head trying to crack them loose.

Thanks Ward. My side latches need tightening and didn't realize the Allen wrench was the answer.
