Jonas, 

Yes. It is used to wrap the entire aluminum header piece which is then
screwed to the wood header bar. Align it so the perpendicular back edge
lines up with the aluminum side cantrail strips as it rounds the front
corners so the weather seal will fit well, and make sure the leading edge
will nicely line up and match the sloping contour of the front edge of wood
header bar. The eventual gap between trimmed header bar where the top
material tacks on all across the front, and the pre trimmed aluminum strip
will be covered by the hidem strip.

Subject: [Healeys] Robins Top Question

I have finally managed to source a wood header piece for my 65 BJ8 and
have it wrapped in offwhite vinyl, the top bows have been stripped and
repainted - so, ready to start working on installing the top.

The original aluminum header piece that attaches to the wood header and
forms the seal at the windshield was originally 1/2 wrapped in black
vinyl.

Looking at some color photos - it's pretty clear that this piece should
be wrapped in vinyl to match the top.

Thus the question - the Robins top came with 2 pieces of matching fabric
- 1 piece is obviously the cut out from the window.  The other is a
rectangle about 8" x 52".  No vinyl material came with the top.

Is the rectangular piece used to wrap the leading edge of the aluminum?
