A picture of your car with the roof down would help. Below is a pic of how my roof sits when fully down. Are you able to press the roof down further?

When I restored my car, I replaced my inner and outer wheel wells on one side. The seam/lip where the inner and outer wheel wells meet creates a verticle edge that sticks up about and inch. Ford would flatten this lip to create more clearance and eliminate the risk of the sharp edge damaging the roof material.





how do you upload pictures

Yep. looks way too high. I'll try and get a well liner measurement like you did for you. I assume you have the original inner and outer wheel wells so there is no lip issue as I described earlier.

Here are a few pictures of the well measurements in each of my two 73 verts.  They look about the same as yours. 11 " to the bar and 12" to the stitching above it from the lowest point in the trunk floor. The first two pics of my one car are shorter by an inch than your car and my other car. I hope it helps.
