Here's a couple of pics of mine right now, Jeff. Note the angle of the lower bar. You may want to get an assistant to work the opposite side while you work your side down a bit. Make sure there's nothing obstructing underneath anything too. Did you unzip the window and fold it down out of the way ? My car is an older one made back in '92 but I don't think that matters as the folding mechanism looks about the same. My car came with some basic instructions on the lowering method. 

Thanks, David.  My MIL happened to be here when I saw this so I showed it to her so she could see what it should look like.  "That's more like it." 

This afternoon they went back and picked up the car for the official finished delivery.  My FIL drove it home and they had their first "gas station conversation" of the many to come.  A guy fueling a brand new pickup said "What is that?  It's Beau-tee-ful!"

My MIL said my FIL "zoomed all over in the car on the way back" and just loved it.  She is taking it out shortly to get used to it.  She didn't want to highway drive it without getting acclimated to the brakes and steering etc.  A good decision.  Realizing the stopping is "old school" and planning accordingly takes some getting used to.

 A photo of the happy new owner and a shot of the with the luggage rack installed, and the interior with the gear shift knob matching the other ivory trim.

IM has loaned me a 1600 Super bade and I'm going to do some take offs and redraw it in CAD and make a matching 2500 Super badge which I'll have milled or 3D printed in metal and will install under the Intermeccanica badge.

What a special car.  I am so pleased for them.
