2006 tj original factory soft top. getting some leak just to the left of the rear view mirror. new crown header seal coming from quadratek today.
i have never taken the top off or down. will never take the top off or down, hell i don't even roll the windows down.
as it is now so old i'm worried about stitching or seams cracking so can i just open the top locks and pull just the very front back like 4 inches to just give me enough space to remove the old seal and clean and replace, or do i need to pull back farther than that ???
