Joe,
Thanks for your suggestion.
I didn't see an article by Rich C on tops, though there is one by him
on interior installation.
There is a set of instructions about tops with some helpful
information, but it's a scan from an old box and doesn't address my
concerns.
I appreciate your reply anyway.
Thanks for taking the time.
Charlie
