You are the proof that just a little honest communication makes a huge difference! (i was about to complain here...}

 

[PREMiERdrum]

Still waiting on him to answer my question, but I appreciate all the info all the same.

Sorry if I missed it (or didn't get back to you), I'm trying to (and failing miserably at)answering whatever questions I can.

Thanks for all the info. Would be interesting to get your opinion on hardtop removal, and also how the hardtop mates with the body. The wide hardtop flange makes it difficult to visualize how the two are mating up.

The slight warping of the flange you mentioned (the longest section between two bolts on each side), is something I saw as well when viewing at a dealership. Although it didn't seem enough to cause a sealing issue.

I haven't taken the clamshell off yet but after staring at it for a day it looks like the warping / waving of the horizontal ledge around the mount points might actually be on purpose to avoid further stress around the bolts. The material there is definitely pliable enough. The design of the seals elsewhere on the roof gives me confidence that it's right here, too. The seating pins and slots make it impossible to install the roof in the wrong position or misaligned.

So many of you have reached out offering thanks, gifts, and booze to me, but that's not why I'm here.

For those of you looking to show thanks with gifts, I'd ask that you consider making a donation to our Watkins Memorial Band Boosters organization (a 501c3 nonprofit) that supports the instrumental music programs of Watkins Memorial High School. Donations can me made via Paypal send to [email protected]. If you add "Drumline" or "Premier Drums" in the note line, the officers will ensure your donation is set aside for our percussion needs.

Thank you all for your generosity! (Pictured below is our last "regular"[pre-COVID] group of drumline kids, and a blonde me before growing my hair out)

(Admin was kind enough to approve this idea)

Thanks Ross! (Even though I’m still not sure who you are and work for!)
The wise asses on here say search the threads! Tried that!
But I am sure you are important since these guys like you, and nothing else!
