Here's a tip regarding the convertible top frame.......when the top is installed, it is necessary
to remove the rear rail from the car in order to move the tacks around when working to get all the wrinkles out of the top. Often this takes removing the rail numerous times to get it perfect. The way the factory did it you have to take a wrench and remove the bolts on
each side to remove the rail, then you have to reinstall them when putting it back. What I did back in the
early 80's is just screw studs into the bolt holes instead of the bolts. when you want to remove the rear rail all you have to do is grab it and pull it inward till it comes off the end of the stud (the rail is quite flexible) and you can remove the rail and put it back in seconds instead of minutes.
