Wire and soft rubber seal on soft top.
« on: November 17, 2019, 06:57:11 »
I am installing the soft top frame.
I have the thin wires with eyelet on one end ,and the soft rubber wedge shaped seals.
I've read the softtop manual on this site, but found no answers to...
Where and how is the non eyelet end of the thin wire attached ...and
Where do the soft seals reside and oriented.  These parts were not present on removal.
My car is early 64 and I can't find find an anchor point for the end of the wire on my frame
Any photos would probably explain best, and would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike. .
