Posting a few photos of a 1956 roof to help those folks that are wanting to install a rag clip . . . and want it in the correct location!

This is the distance from the Ragtop opening to the leading edge of the roof . . . .
These dial-calipers are 12", but 6" calipers should measure this also . . . I have one jaw flat and tight to the opening where the ragtop hook will catch . . .

The other jaw is contacting the front edge of the windscreen opening.

The distance is "as the crow flies" . . . . 5.886"

Great post as I'm on my way to install a clip as soon I've found one.
