Thanks.
Which security enclosure are you going with? The reason I ask is the ones I have seen so far allow just enough space for your fingers to close the top as shown.@IAG Performance, I preordred the soft top assist and it's been one of my favorite accessories. Great product.
I've been closing the soft top this way:
And this method works fine.
However, I'm going to be adding a security enclosure that will prevent me from pulling down on the soft top frame from the inside. The bottom of the frame will contact the top of the enclosure, so there is no space for hands and fingers.
I looked for a spot where I could add something like a pull handle (such as the T-slot track where the factory prop is mounted), but anything mounted to the inside of the frame won't allow for enough leverage. The strap for a handle will contact the enclosure lid before the soft top frame can be pulled far enough down to latch.
So, just looking for some engineering advice. If you had to design a handle for pulling the soft top closed (to counter the resistance of the assist kit), how would you do it?
Thanks for the quick response. I'm going with the Slipstream from Diabolical, Inc.
If you go back to the early pages of this thread, there were a few members that commented that they had a Slipstream enclosure and there was enough rough to get your fingers in-between still. We don't have a Slipstream enclosure so I can't say that for certain though.
Are you snapping the top downward with some force? Or are you manually holding the corner latches open until they clear the latch points?
I am using force. So long as your latches are hitting the retaining bar such that the slope allows for proper latch engagement (i.e. the latch can clip itself over the bar and not bind itself closed), it should be fine.
Thanks for the confirmation. That's how I adjusted the levers - there's just enough slope on the underside of the latch to push it open automatically when I close it with force. But then the lever ends clack down onto the metal lid of the Slipstream and the latches aren't 100% closed, compared to not having the lid in the way.
Have you heard anything back from them? As mine rattles as well. But I usually have my volume between 15 and 20. It's strange though, because it's only the right one that rattles.. for now lol.Installed mine a few weeks back and love it with only one exception. At times a song or songs may come and the volume on the B&O system may hit ear drum splitting levelsAt those levels the inner tube do rattle quite loudly. I have already reached out and IAG is looking into it now so I am happy.
The same side the subwoofer is located on, correct?
It sounds as if it's the actual strut rattling real bad. The brackets are all tight. I have had the struts for maybe 5 months? And this just started happening last month. Everything was fine up until then
