Installed wood cab panels last night in 67 pop top. Rear and center panels next. My question is, does the center panel but up to the cab panels, or does it slide under or over them? I know it screws intio the lip on the tab at the back of the vent. Thanks

Thanks for the responses. Where on the vent bow should the backside of the cab panels end, flush with the back edge or middle of the bow, or .... ? Mine are flush with the back edge of the vent bow. Do I need to trim them? Thanks

Middle of the bow with a tiny gap for the screw. You may have to cut a relief for the back of the vent. Go easy, 'cause it shows.

The middle roof panel and the cab roof panels are cut differently for different years/ models.
If yours overlap, you are mixing and matching different versions.
