Oh, I forgot to ask about the remove before flight tag. I need one to hang in my car when I leave the top unlatched when my car is not being driven. I have heard that doing this saves your gaskets from collapsing but it could get you in the FRC if not careful to always remember to latch top before driving.

Thanks,
Sanford

Never heard that one before.

I think I'd take my chances having to replace gaskets rather than becoming a member of the FRC.

Don't know about the wire yet. The passenger seat is just bolted in, not wired. Tailights is sending me the plug and wire but it hasn't gotten here yet.

Jack, I know. I was buying the drivers side carpet from her but I spent all my budgeted (and unbudgeted) "mod money" for this month, so I had to pass :bb :bb :bb
I'm really glad the seats are woking out. When one's wife is happy, life is good.
