Chad:

The bolts that secure the hardtop to the windshield frame are 5/16 - 24 Bolts
2.5 inches long.  Do not do what my car's PO did and try to force a 5/16-18
bolt in to the captive nut and break it off.
The bolts that secure the hardtop to the body just behind the doors are 5/16
- 24 Bolts 1 inche long.  Also there is a special bracket attached by one of
the folding top mounting screws that is used with these bolts.
The bolts that secure the hardtop to the body at the rear are 1/4-28 Bolts
1.5 inches long.

Hope that answers your question.

Dave
