    Picked up a 70' W/S frame to put on the 56'... just popped it on to see where things were going to fall. Previously, the top of the frame to the back of the tub measured 88" +/-, with the new frame, it measures 90" +/-. I've spent the last 30 min. or so searching the forum, trying to figure out how to adjust the angle, couldn't find it. It appeares the rubber seal it thicker than the old one, and his holding the frame up. So, the Q is, are there various thicknesses of windshield rubber? or do I just need to massage what I have until it lays back?

    Thanks

    Some of the rubber seals vary.......massage it or use the old rubber from the original frame........I'd just leave it and tug into place if using a hard top

    There are different angles on windshield frames...there uses to be an article in the tech section here that explained it well. If I read it right that's what you are concerned with?
