Hi Guys,
I am busy assembling my hard top after a respray. Could you please advise me of the correct orientation of the locking handles.

Hi,
when closed hardtop handles show backwards, open 90° from backwards, parallel to seat back.

Tks WRe,
The holes for the locking pins are not 90* to the handles, they have about 10* off set.
So how do I determine which is L and R.
Thanks
Chris
