The top two pieces are what you should have in your kit. The red line represents the fabric of the new boot cover (hood stick cover). BTW if the pieces came with a Robbins boot cover, it would not be the first time I have seen the wrong pieces provided. The same pieces would be used for the tonneau cover at the rear. Whenever I do one of these, I always replace the plastic pieces with the corresponding metal ones. With black tops, I use the black anodized pieces. The snap fastener pieces are available from several online providers, including marine shops, convertible top shops, and hobby shops.<o:p></o:p></p><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><img width=694 height=417 style='width:7.225in;height:4.3416in' id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.png@01D4B59C.73645D70"><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The bottom two pieces are what would be on the rear bar of the soft top with the red line again representing the fabric of the convertible top.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Keith Stewart<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>keithstewart@bell.net<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
