[Mgs] Tops, hoods.

[Clayton Kirkwood]

I am in the middle of replacing my top as well as the other glowing downpipe
subject. I have the top on and the snaps are all located well. I am left
with the question of how to properly attach and size the top.

The back hoop on my 79 rotates front and back, and the header needs to be
attached as Mike indicates.

How do I properly locate the back hoop? How do I know the correct stretch
and attachment on the header bar? I am concerned that in this cold weather I
attach it tight but it becomes loose in the summertime.

Also, what kind of glue. I am a little frustrated with Moss. They say this
is best done by a "professional" and therefore, they don't supply any
instructions. Gee, that's nice:>{


TIA,


Clayton

I bought an EZ-ON top about 7 years ago. Came with all snaps and hooks 
installed but I had to supply the rear hold down and header bar.
Fit was very good especially around side windows. Mine did require 
gluing to the front header bar.
The biggest fault I have with this top is it didn't come with any extra 
material which should tuck under the small blocks at each front corner 
(aids holding the front corners to the header bar). You might ask if 
that is now available.
I use a hardtop in the winter which has kept this top very serviceable 
for use in the non winter months.
