Problems with rag top...

I installed my slidin rag from streetbeat tonight and my problem is that it only will open half way. second, when i shut it, i have trouble lockin it. anyone ever expierence these problems beofore, and if so what you do?

Thanks!

YES!!! we just installed mine and i have the exact same problems!! if anyone can give assistance it would be appriciated. all 20s, what kind of truck and size of ragtop is yours and when was it built by streetbeat?

werd, i hate to bitch online since i havent called them on it to get any resolution on the problems, but as much as i love it open it sucks ass to "slide" and forget about the locking mechanism, that shit is just retarded...

i would do it again, but not on a daily driver...

i ahve a street beat on my single cab yota and it only openms like 1/2 way but thats how its designed, 2 fold sliding rag, the lock is shit but hey waht do you expect for an arm and a leg, i mean 425 is cheap right.

425? Ha! I paid over 600 for my 40x40 and it's worth maybe $40 total rip off.... for that much $ you'd think the quality would be better.. The worst thing about mine was I waited 13 weeks for it and got a different story from the A holes every time I called about it.... Considering it was supposed to take 4-6 weeks... Streetbeat are all assmonkeys. Someone else needs to start building them for $250 just to put a hurt on them.. It wouldn't take more than $40 to build one......

What size op is it? If it's like a 35" x 20" then ya it's only gonna open halfway just cause of the design. And what kind of problem are you having with the latch? (and ya the latches are junk).

I have the 7 footer in my astro, it is tuff to slide and the locks suck but it looks so cool! Be careful one problem i ran into was the white plastic sliders in the rais . The screw backs out and you can loose them I got lucky and it fell in the van.

i don't have any problems with mine, course i've had it for about 4 years now or so. wanting to get a bigger one for the stang, cause 36x24 isn't quite big enough. I had problems with the plastic sliders, on one side but i purchased a bag of ten for 5 bucks. mine cost me $350 about back in tha day.

I had/have the same problems with mine that I installed in my Fullsizy chevy ext. cab. As Crash said the screws in the white sliders back out of mine too but i caught it in time and re-tightened them. I also installed some lock-tite in them so they don't do it again. And as far as them not sliding all the way back. Mine done that at first until I figured out that there is a guide arm on each side that if I pushed up on, it would let the top slide back farther. You might look into that. And as far as the locks...JUNK. Mine worked great until I installed my headliner and the strip around the headliner. If you take the front part apart you will see a round piece of metal in there with a stud sticking up. I'm going to tap another hole in it and move the stud and I think that will fix my lock problem.

i have a 40x40 in nissan ex cab as fair as the slide you need to push up on the front in the corners the lock u need to drill little pilet holes in the post then it should work thats what i did and i like it
