I have a complete set of mechanism parts (transmissions, cables, arms, etc.) packed in a medium flat rate box. It weighs 15 lbs.

The 'canvas' and frame weighs 35 lbs. Slight variables for glass, liner, bolts, but 35 is a good general number making the total an easy 50 lbs.

Do I still need something to latch the clamshell or will the installed hardtop hold it down...
I put a hardtop on that car just after I made the video. The clamshell will not budge with the hardtop on.
