My question to those of you out there with a convertible...did the factory smash down the seams flat so this would not happen?
Correct. Factory finish to create room for the top when folded down.
We discovered this on my '67. We replaced the inner and outer wells, left the seams up (the way the parts come) and top would only close 80%. Shop spent the next couple of hours beating on the seams to flatten them. Crawled up in there on my '68 and sure enough, flattened seams. You may not remember, but I mentioned this to you and your body guy way back when. He must have remembered...
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
