Hey, Appleguy,

Can I get some advice on how to strip down the top? The left side interior plastic trim strip on my heart top has come loose at the front, but I can't figure out where the fastener is to tighten it down again. It's presumably under the trim strip, where I can't see it. I figure I'm going to have to take the whole thing off, but I am leery of just grabbing it and tugging until it all comes loose.

Is that the right way to do it, or is there another trick? How are the trim strips on either side fastened? Will I be able to replace only the fastener, or will I have to buy a complete strip? Many thanks for your help!

silver-S: PM me with your email address. I've got a pdf file for assembly/disassembly of the hard top I can send you.

Was very lucky.My new to me Box came with the factory hard top.

One great advantage is the huge back window compared to the convertibles.
