Hard top
Lilchas57
Purchased a fiberglass hardtop that always wanted instead of a soft top. Does any have ideas on how to attach. I was thinking of putting some kind of latch on the inside since I want it removeable and no hardware showing on the outside , also any ideas on how to attach to windshield, Thanks

I hinged ours in the rear (4 nuts undone from underneath and I can lift it off) and used small gas struts to help lift and hold it up.

I would do 2 latches up on the windshield and 4 around the back. Maybe hook style up on the front?
