For those that like to take their tops off their targa, you may notice some wear or tears forming on the small leatherette pieces on the front top if you haven't been careful.
I used some door edge guard material cut to size to protect the edges.
I usually place my targa top down and instead of forcing it, I grab the rear latch to pull the targa back and down into place instead of trying to wedge it back in from the front or from the outside. If you have it adjusted just right, you can get the hook to catch at the back then use the latch to get it all into place.

The issue with these is they don't compress enough to slide completely underneath a lowered car.

I picked up these parts from a semi truck parts store.
2 air bags # W01-358-7705
3/8 plastic air line
3/8 instant push on fittings
on/off petcock valve
air chuck nipple
2x3 tube to slide over the air fitting
I plan on modifying the steel tube to use the lifting puck locations on the Vette.
