I am getting ready to graft an original 3 fold ragtop clip into my '55 hard top Oval so I need the measurement from the windshield glass edge to the front lip of the ragtop clip and the measurement from the rear edge opening to the top of the Oval window glass top edge so I know the grafted clip is centered front to back in the roof, please help a brother out!! I am sure my rubber has shrunk over the years so using the glass a point of reference should be more accurate, thanks in advance for the help.

That previous post said 148-149.5 from the leading edge of the body to the latch hole,

That is 5.8 inches which is the same as the 2 fold???

Is that right?

Is the 3 fold just longer in the back then?
