Rag Top Replacement

[jakekit]

Brock,

Who did you order your top from?

I should also mention that most of the tops don't have the front edge cut properly for installation like the OEM tops. You'll need to do some VERY careful trimming there most likely.

oh, another tip. When trying to install the top onto the metal wing plates on the top, use an awl in the holes to leverage the top into position to get the other screws lined up.

Final, removing the old top alone is no big deal, and installing the new one all the way up to the part where you are attaching the wing plates and the front edge is ok solo, those last steps its nice to have a partner.

Finally, you'll definitely want to have the silicone lubricant or whatever it is to get the back edge weatherstripping installed again.

Oh, more...

On the adhesive front, I ended up not using a whole lot of the super weatherstrip adhesive. It's a bit messy and hard to work with. For what its worth I have had zero leaks or other issues at this point. I installed in May. Been through many washes and lots of southern summer thunderstorms.
