Marketed as "the best available" and "don't buy inferior tops." Right. Unfortunately, I bought the boot about a year ago. Just now finishing my restoration, and am trying to install it. No luck. This boot will not go on my car. Already broke one clip trying. Any advice you can give? Right now I'm feeling a bit taken (for $175 plus shipping) and humilated. I know, restorations can make one feel that way....often. :-(
Will it not fit because the surround molding on my '69 has the snaps built into it? Do I need to chain the boot between two cars and drive them apart to stretch it? Just kidding. But seriously, any advice you can offer would be helpful.
And in case this one never works, is there a place I can buy the snap-on type boot. I remember looking last year and never found one. Thanks in advance for your help.

I bought an aftermarket boot and just had to let it set out in the hot sun to get it to clip on. They will work, but cursing was still involved. I have a replacement top as well and that was thicker than the original, thus making it harder to clip on.
