Does any one know who works on the roof ? Rear lid does not go all the way down. I am north of Chicago Il. Any help would be appreciated.

I didn’t watch the whole thing, but this might also be a start. I do know they are really complicated. A local restoration guy had one, supposedly #12 of 14 F codes built. All original.

Re: 57 skyliner
There is a guy in Tacoma, Wa that does work on them. Not cheap but one owner I talked to said that he hadn't had any trouble in years with his afterwards. I can find out, PM if you want.

Re: 57 skyliner
That book is a must have and very detailed problem solving and adjustments. It does assume a like new vehicle and components. But it sure is handy.
