The original plasticon tops fit bad around the side windows near the top and I see you had to do a lot of work to make them fit better. I also had to do the same, Here is my granddaughter 16 at a local car show who drove us there. Also how I modified the hold downs for a better fit then using the the ones that came with it.

your hardtop fits great around the windows, Where did you find the rubber weather seals, also What seal did you use on the deck lid area, Thanks look forward to you e-mail, Dave
