Subject: IML: "custom" vinyl top covering
Are you sure someone hasn't replaced the vinyl top on your car with one
designed for a solid-roof car ? The sunroof Chargers that I am familair
with had the seems running outboard of the sunroof opening, with the tight
clearances involved it doesn't make sense to run the seams across the
sliding panel.

together in one area don't look very good. Secondly, my sunroof panel rubs
the double-thick seam area ever so slightly when retracting (although I'm
sure I could fix this with an adjustment).

do-able (pun-intended) as even with an additonal four inches in width, the
seams will still fall in a flat area and should be no wider than a standard
width vinyl.
