I=E2=80=99ve never installed a soft top myself but have had a couple instal=
led by shops. Before you cut anything for the snaps, make sure the top will=
fit. The shop I used =E2=80=93 who had been doing tops for decades - had t=
o add material to the back of the top to make it long enough. The top was a=
Robins top, picked up from one of our suppliers. Robbins used to have prob=
lems with these tops but I don=E2=80=99t know if they still do. This was in=
about 2005 or so.
Where did you find the gasket?
Good luck with the install.
Peace,

Subject: [Roadsters] soft top
I am installing the soft top on an early 67 roadster.
I see this:=C2=A0 http://www.311s.org/pmwiki-311/pmwiki.php?n=3DTechSection=
.SoftTopInstall
Anyone have anything better?=C2=A0 We have already decided to do the snaps =
in the back first, then do the front.=C2=A0 I think that makes more sense.
Btw I found a generic gasket for the front where it meets the windshield - =
$12!
