Hi,
I am currently working to restore a factory hard top I got off a 1979 parts car. Luckily, all the rubber seals are in great shape (almost). However, all metal bits on the underside were rusted to oblivion, and most of the latching mechanism is missing. I can't find much information on what the underside of the hardtop is supposed to look like, can somebody please post some detailed pictures of the underside (and especially the proper latching mechanism) of a factory hardtop?
Thanks,
Ian
