When I started the restoration of my hard-top, I went out and bought
absolutely every fixing that it was possible to attach (and they're not
cheap!); that being the case, I made sure I worked out how to use them.

Nor am I. I suppose it would be of use if you had nowhere to store the
soft-top when it was off the car (it won't go in the boot), but it
doesn't take up that much room in my mother's garage, or so I keep
telling her... Besides, if that was the situation, where would you
keep the hard-top when it was off the car?

Agreed. I can't see me ever wanting to put the hard-top on with the
soft-top in place again.
