Early A Ragtop thread

Arg, not sure on that one. Someone else will have to chime in...

My Valiant has a power top, I converted the Dart I had from a power to manual top but it's been 8 years, I don't exactly remember how it was held down.

I want to say that the way the spring was positioned with the top down kept it from popping up until you pulled it up an inch or three, but there may have been a latch on the top frame itself. I could be wrong but for some reason I want to say that's how it was; wish I could be of more help.


Ok here is what I was talking about. One of the metal straps appears to have broken off. First two pics are the Driver side and second two are passenger side
