I’ve used a roll of paper towels, cardboard box or a cut piece of the cardboard tube from a material roll

The top is done except tor a couple screws and sticking the rubber back in. For being out of practice it came out good. Here’s that flap I was talking about, any ideas of what it’s for and what to do with it? It’s fastened to the top open upwards.

Ok, the top is on and looks pretty good (I’m doing this job as I have time to work on it). One more question, there’s an inside flap on the quarter panels about 4” wide and 4” long which is loose facing up. It’s above the molding line and I see nothing it should be attached to. The old top didn’t have anything like this. It’s an Electron top. Thanks again for your advice. I’ll be finishing this up Sunday...wedding in the NC mountains tomorrow and they’re forecasting 1-3 inches of snow!!

Thanks for the advice, this one has me a little on edge. There are no guide marks on the top (Electron) and very little wiggle room for adjustments. I’ve used the old top to get an idea for fitting it. Right now the rear bow height is about 1/8” long... I just hope it doesn’t move much more after stretching it forward
