M170 Bow Height

Post by ndnile » Mon Jun 21, 2021 9:13 pm

My M170 had the bows installed when I got it a few years ago. Today I installed the top I just received and I have a gap at the bottom that grows as you head towards the rear of the jeep. I trust the vendor that made the canvas, so that leaves the height of the rear bow. Perhaps it isn't inserted as far down as it should, but before I start wailing on it can someone take a measurement on that for me please.

Cheers, Doug

Doug,
Both bows are the same height from the floor. Unfortunately, I don't have that dimension, but you can do a comparison.
