There are two different lengths of side mount
rods. One is designed for bolting directly where
the rag top roof mount plate meets the side
panels. The second shorter set, are designed to be
bolted right to the plate that is..the rag top mount
plate. (top most empty hole) with the rag top
folded down. This is also why the make a cover
that fits the rag top when it's folded down with the hardtop
mounted.
I have a spare set of the rag top frame plates that I leave
attached to the hardtop pins. I now remove my ragtop completely
when putting on the hardtop. It just looks much cleaner and gives
you a lot more room behind the seats.
