hardtop internals

Beedub-these are for you. Headliners are held in place by @15 blk. plastic pushpins with plastic screws in the center. The main headliner is manufactured from fiberglass gel coat which is one solid piece wrapped in a blk. fabric on the inside. The rear bottom windshield headliner is a long piece that interweaves with the main headliner providing a finished look for the bottom portion of the rear windshield (if you were to look down upon it from outside the car). Weather stripping for each window is held into place by a metal frame screwed down to the top's sides. Each metal frame has a track where the back of the weather-stripping ribs fits into. It's easy to remove but a pain in the ass to put back on to the tracks. I used some wd-40 as lubrication and it's still a p.i.t.a. You need to take your time otherwise you will tear the rubber up. After the weather stripping is installed on the tracks, there are 2 finish trim pieces that fit the window arches almost like door guards from keeping the doors from getting nicked while opening. Rear windshield is held in by urethane caulk with 6 small bumper guards underneath the window. Spoiler bolts on with hex screws from the underside of the top.
