I have talked to a number of Street-beat customers and most all of them have regrets. As far as I can tell, all of them leak at least a little, and many of them leak a lot.
I would consider finding an original VW ragtop clip and use that instead.

I would save myself the trouble of hacking a non original ragtop in, when the goal is getting an og ragtop. the hole you're going to cut out might not be same size as needed to graft in an og ragtop.... i saw quite a few of them around and the aftermarket ones are usually different in size...
that's trouble then at the end of the story when you get the og one...

I would either stick to the aftermarket ragtop you got now, graft it in, and be happy with it for the rest of the car's life, or get an og one straight away.

drive your VW every day!!!
