Does anyone have a photo of the location of the top support brackets that are riveted to the sides of a convertible top and clamp into the frame? I think there are 4 on each side.
I don't have them on my top, they were left off when it was replaced.
Thanks!

My top didn't have them either, I watched The Thing Shop's video and looked at a bunch of photos in the gallery.
In the end I just mounted them in the middle of the span. Seems to work fine.

Thank you very much! So it looks like you spaced them evenly. If you don't mind, what does the other side look like....where you riveted to the top.
Thanks!
