[Tigers] Soft top question

[GARY WINBLAD]

Hi Mayf,
I think you are correct, it was a shelf for the side panels, but I think later cars had them too.
But I may be wrong...
I was just thinking of what I might do.. to remove the soft top, the long strip is required but the
short ones are not so I would just leave them on...  and forget it, LOL.
Joe,
I am pretty sure the Reisentz estate has those, I am not sure when I will go there but will
look.
Gary

I grabbed this shot from a video that shows the side piece I'm talking about.
