C1 soft top catch ?
On my ‘59 (and other C1s) the catch assembly that latches the soft top lid has two vertically slotted tabs at the rear. I am in the process of putting a roll cage in the ’59 and need to delete these tabs so I can move the harness bar behind the seats as far forward as possible. Just wondering what the original purpose of these slots/tabs was?

Thanks guys. I should have known that seeing as how my '59 came with a power top, but in my defense, all the power top parts were in boxes.
