Hardtop question?

Post by wizard124 »

This SnugTop hardtop came with my car.

It attaches to the front window using the convertible top latches. While driving the car, the top bounces and rattles around.
I noticed these fittings, one on either side. I assume they are used to secure the top.

Can someone show me a photo of the clamps or latches used here? What else should I do or know about how this attaches?

My other question has to do with this trim:

Is this original, or do you think the PO did this? At some point, I would like to clean this up, replace some window seals, paint, etc.

Looks like a simple J-hook to the top frame could hold the hardtop to the top frame.
