boot on my '92 convertible fits horribly as well - I think they were all like that - almost seems like it was an afterthought....now, if I could just get my quarter windows to go down...

I have the same issue with a 94. I had another 94 that I bought an aftermarket boot and it fit better than the factory that I have this time. One side, normally the right, always pops up. I'm beginning to think it's because the top doesn't lay down like it did originally from thr wear. Maybe it's bent or warped a little.

thanks for the info. went to ebay and viewed some pictures of the boot. These boots had 2 straps that hooked inside the trunk and attached to the boot. that is not the case with my boot. Did your boot come with thses straps?

Yes, it did and it had the snaps inside the trunk. I don't on my current 94 and I don't know the difference. I don't have a problem with the rear of the boot coming up on this one, it's just the right side. I keep adjusting and trying to get the top to lay in the compartment lower but so far I have not had much success.

boot

I know you have probably tried this--but the two rear drop points on the frame have adjustment bolts that will lower or raise the frame. Ihave to lower the top as far as the motor will take it and then put a wrench on the nut. I have lower mine as far as I can, but it still needs to drop lower. Probably the same problem you are having.

ps need to have new mufflers installed. would like to put a little sizzle the rear "look". chrome exhust, and high polished mufflers. Have you tried any of these online outfits?

Yeah, I've tried that adjustment. I'm thinking the frame is bent or warped. No, I haven't tried any of those. I had a new muffler installed but it was at a local shop.
