A guy on FB had an issue..... when he removed the top, the doors hit at the rear...turns out that the body mounts were replaced with the top on and the shims weren't reinstalled....he said the rocker boxes were in good shape too.

When the top came off the body drooped slightly...I think that whenever the mounts were replaced and the bolts tightened....it put the body in a slight bind that manifested itself when the top came off..



not sure of the color though..I don't think it was white...?


Also, OP...I assume your rocker boxes are good..?
