First, thanks to the many folks that have responded.  Some suggest it's 
probably a low windshield unit, while others comment that the low 
windshield units screw in rather than latch.  Mine definately has two 
latches for the windshield frame and never had a third in the center.

But, someone has posted a very, very similar top listed for a high 
windshield roadster on ebay.  The manufacturers plate is the same.  Mine 
just has pop out windows (will be fixed glass if I can mount this top 
properly) instead of Hurst type trim.  But, the buyer/winner of this top 
will be left with the same issues I'm facing.  That is:  how to secure it 
in the rear.  There isn't any type of attachment that'll reach the soft 
top mounting pivot.  Just a pair of strategically placed holes to match 
the unthreaded versions in the top of the quarter panels behind the doors 
on the car.

Take a look at the Ebay auction with supersized pictures here:

I'm pretty sure that that is just another model of the Dynaplastics top I 
have.  It is identical in fit and finish with the exception of the quarter 
window difference.  My front latches are a little different, but they work 
fine with my '69, so ...

If the pictures don't help:  Got a roadster and a dynaplastics top that 
you can show me how to fit within 500 miles of Houston?  Got any time this 
week?  It rains a lot in Houston, and I'm topless w/o this one.


Thanks,
Milton
