Hey everyone,

I have a question about a leaking top. If I wash my '64 or get caught in the rain with the hard top on and then take it off afterwards I've noticed there is standing water in the fold of the soft top. The deck lid drains are open so I'm pretty sure the water is coming in the bolts holes on the deck lid. The seal on the hard top looks good and I have rubber washers, flat metal washers and wing nuts in place on the back bolts. Could it be that I have the wrong washers in place? They are about the size of a nickel and after I have the side bolts in place I raise the top & lid to tighten the back bolts. The only place I have water is in the fold of the soft top right below the back bolts. The rubber washers are covering the holes pretty good. So, have any of you all experienced this? Any tips? I could buy an assortment of washers (rubber and metal) and keep trying it until solved but if you all can save me a few trips I would be thankful. Thanks.

I used the cut off fat end of old tire valves for a rubber washer. That and a nickel size flat washer. No leaks here in 12 years.

Hmmm, okay. I'll look for thicker washers or hit the tire store. Thanks for the tip!
