I bought one a few weeks ago. It uses the normal front attachment holes, but in the back it just presses up on the headliner to hold itself down. It also holds onto the holes in the center t-top bar. It may have been better for it to use all of the normal t-top mounting places, but it stays on fine. I only have a tiny air leak, which I can fix with some adjustment. In my opinion, it looks great, gives me more head room, solved my water leak problem, and allows for a greater field of vision. Worth the 400$ to me. I'll try to find a camera eventually to post pics.

I know about a month ago I saw a post for one of these. They have designed a piece to latch it down more securely. You should check it out.. I think it had detailed pics... :flag
