See my how to install your vinyl top. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y65/briano1234/topadds/topcut.jpg You will see what I mean..... The side cables once ...

3. It looks like my padding cover is not long enough to reach where it needs to be riveted.... Can I connect it with a strap or anything…? The various kits I have used also were to short, so I used thin strapping from a cargo strap that I had. Make 2 vertical cuts in the vinyl about 3 inches apart ...

1. The foam pad has an extra layer of "railing" on left/ride sides. Do these need to be pointing up to the sky, or face down towards the car for installation? (You may have answered that already, just double checking) Yes the Foam padding is smooth side up, folded side down. 2. As far as ...

The springs on the rear frame attach to the Side tension cables. that is what keeps tension on them http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y65/briano1234/top/cablerun.jpg The attach the spring and hook the spring to the finger and slightly bend it in so it holds, there is a vinly covering over the spring ...

I see that now in better light,,..... The Padding kit is Daunting as before I did the write up there wasn't really any instructions on how to do it....

INSTALL: I have the padding cover with the front rod looped through, clamped and attached to the front. Looking to add the pad next.

In years past I had over loaders on my Diesel rabbit as I was carrying about 400 pounds in the trunk, and the rabbi...

No, it appears that P-bucket is having issues, I personally haven't moved any images.
I am having the same issue when viewing some of the files, and when I try to copy links they don't.

Those from home depot will not be sufficient length or width to work. I made my last one of foam. As P-bucket appears to be the ass this morning...sorry for the incorrect error message....I haven't moved a thing. You can buy a padding kit, they are easy to install. Yes I used foam and batting to att...
