We took the old convertible top off and are putting the new one on we have gotten to the point where the front part of roof has to fit in the seam where the hard piece is that has handle on it. One side is staying other side won’t go in. We have watched numerous videos and of course none of them are for the actual year of my car and none of them show exactly what to do here! Is there a diagram or instructions with pictures maybe for this part?
