Hello all, just wanted to share that a found a good way to build a temporary / maybe permanent top for my 2 man M1097.
I bought a 20-dollar plastic panel from Home Depot:
Bought some new stainless #10-24 screws and washers to mount to the existing threaded holes on the top of the A-Pillar then reused the pop rivet holes in the back of the B pillar to mount the top to the back. I was also able to reuse the screws in the A-to-B pillar supports on each side to keep the sides down. All in all Im thrilled that the interior will stay dry for $20 while I wait for a hard top.
Pro Tip, I used masking tap to mark the exact location of the holes on top the A pillar then transferred the masking tape to the panel to mark the holes to drill.
