Ok, the weather broke and I finally got off my lazy tail and took some picures. I took a piece of vinyl siding pictured. Cut only to about 1 1/2 to 2 inches wide and use the channel portion at the bottom. I then took pliobond and secured the siding to the top edge. I then took 1/8th inch large flange aluminum rivets along with a 1/8 inch back up plate (washer) and riveted the top in place about every 12 inches. Then painted the rivets same color as top and has held/worked great ever since.

A call to Vietnam Veterans #920 for one of their NOS tops solves all the problems, with a bit of money however. I am into my second year with one of their tops. Call 940-565-0366 and ask for Jimmy. It is tax deductible also.

Do not ask to have my reserve top!
