Hey guys ,i got a 52 m38 it is all original the windsheild ,top bows ! i bought a top from surplus city,and the rod was missing so i got them from midwest .the top fits ok but the bows are tilted to the front so much that they are bent at the bottom where the slide in .the rod on the pass side fits perfect . the one on the left ,i have to push the front bow back 3 inches to get it in the hole.then my front bow is off so bad that the straps on the top wont snap possibly 3 inches also. i thought the windshield was too far back ,so i got to looking and if it went forward it would bend the back bows even more? any clues ???????? also i have one original door frame that fits the pass side , it fits perfect .i bought a (suppose-to-be)NOS but its not its from midwest.it dont fit to nothing but the hinges (windshield to body ) side curtain is way off and at bottom of body .
