Need help from vert owners
I put my soft top back in the car this past weekend and am a little confused as to what goes where. Its been 6 months since I've taken it out and the Helms manual is pretty vague on the pics. I need a pic of where the vert frame mounts to the body, or a desctription. I've got the three nuts fastened on each side, but there is a cable/wire with a silver round end on it that I don't know what to do with. Also there are a few threaded holes that I don't know what mounts there. Any help would be appreciated. Oh its a '90 model if that makes a difference.

The other threaded holes are for the hard-top b-pillar brackets. I seem to remember seeing the cable you mention, but I'm not sure what that does/ where it goes. Vette isn't here at work. I hope the pic helps. (also a '90)

This cable?
Attaches to the softtop frame next to the elastic for the rear deck cover:
And what looks like the rear bolt for the softtop pivot bracket:
There's a piece of carpet trim which covers this.
