    Purchasing a hardtop. Do I need anything else?

    So I'm picking up a hardtop tonight. It has the studs. Are there any other things I need to mount it on my car?

    Thanks

    You might need a pair of the plastic covers that cover bolts and the wrench. I have a brand new set of plastic covers and adjusting wrench. This is a second set I have and is surplus to me needs. PM me if you are interested. Thanks.

      all you need are the metal parts that the studs slide into and the plastic sleeves as he said. the wrench shouldnt really be that important. i never got the studs with mine so i have to bold mine down. :(

      congratulations on joining the hard top club!

          So I don't know if I have the mounting hardware or not. I have some plastic inserts on the car that the bolts slide into, but it makes the top sit high and there's nothing for it to lock into.

          help!

            it should have some brass pieces that bolt into the car where the rear quarter windows are using 3 10mm bolts. the plastic inserts slide into the brass pieces. then the pins attach to the hard top and when you set it into the plastic, you turn the pins and it bolts the hardtop into place.

            i bet that didnt make any sense...

              back from the dead! j/k. i'm getting a hard top too. can someone snap a pick of the points where the top mates with the car and explain whatever else I'll need that's not attached to the top?
              i just want to get this stuff on order.

              also,
              does anyone have an opinion of what a top with no window and fuct vinyl is worth? (yes, windows are available ~$240 +/-$70).
