Hello,
id quite like to convert my two pice hard top roof to a fastback, but a few questions.

first of all, des anyone have a good fastback top for sale:)

second, as i have factory fitted fiberglass roof, my car doesnt have the retaining strip at the front of the windscreen, so does anyone have one of these they can sell me?

and if i fit the retainingstrip will i still be able to put the hard top back on? its the origional hard top from the factory so i would want to swap between the two.

Thanks for the help guys:)
joe

The strip that goes across the top of the windscreen you have to take it of if your using the hard top and put it on with the soft top each time thats all i know!

its only a few screws, takes about a minute to fit and remove ;)

you also need the strips down the back of the B pillar same again i think there's about 6-7 screws for each but I just use 3 in each.

yea i suppose, but it would mean when i want the hard top on it would leave open holes in my nice fresh paint.

I think some hardtops will fit with the soft top fittings still on.
