Installing a new top on my 74.5 B and was wondering want kind of adhesive 
all of you DIY people are using out there.  I did try doing some research, 
but came up empty.  Is contact cement a good or wise choice?  How hard 
should I be pulling on the top when gluing it down in place?  I would hate 
to need three elephants to get it up when cold but I would really appreciate 
not having it rattle in the wind either.  The old top, which I believe was 
the original had the fixed rear window and seemed pretty smooth.  The new 
one is a zipper type.  It seems no matter how I pull on it, the window has 
some wrinkling to it.  Is this a common issue with zip out back windows?  
Thanks in advance to all of you LBC people out there for your advice and 
help!

Regards to all,

Rob
