That's exactly why I posted the question... Cause I don't know what Im doing.
That said, the top is the same color as my car.

If the spin locks aren't with the top might they still be on the car?
Do you only have spin locks if you have a top or does every car come with them or does it come with the top?
if the other car had a top on it it would have the spin locks on it. you have to remove the side trim panels behind the seats but it is just a single screw and one 8 mm bolt head that needs to be loosened to remove this panel. then you need a 5mm ball style Allen tool to remove the pinch bolt and spin lock.


These simple little parts cost as much as $130 but typically hover around the $100-$120 mark

edit I guess someone is proud of these little nuts
