I bought a used three piece top and was trying to fit it up today and I have a couple questions for those that have one of the early versions. This is going on gen II RT10
In addition to the three top sections the hardware I received is the rear mounting bracket which consisted of about an 18" piece of aluminum bar stock with two studs, four m8 threaded studs and four m8 nuts. Here are my questions,
1) Does it sound like I have all the hardware that came with the early design of this top?
2) To install your sport pad are you supposed to remove the four threaded studs and re install the sport pad using the OEM fasteners or is there a faster way of do installing the sport pad?
3) What holds the weather strip that is fastened to the sport pad that the back of the door closes up against? I know on the later versions of this top the mounting hardware supports this weather strip but is that supposed to just hang out there loose on this version of the top? I have a feeling I'm missing something here.
If I'm doing something wrong here any pictures you could shoot me would help.
Thanks,
Jerry
