Holy cow!
For almost five years I've been trying to think of something I could do to make my top a little quieter!
What you said about bending the leading edge down was sheer genius! I just went out in the garage and used a mallet to "convince" my top that the leading edge actually wants to sit lower! It definately LOOKS better, but the real test will come in the morning when I head off to work!
You guys can expect a full report in the morning...
