I currently have a hard top with all the correct hardware a seals. You
realy need to unfasten the rear attachment bar on your softop to get a
good fit. If your soft top snaps on like my 74 your ok, just unsnap and
drop the back of the top into the back with frame. Leave the frame
pivots in place.
My tops all had sealing strips (weather strips) at the lower sheet metal
portion of the top. at the rear there is a touchdown bumper to ride on
the painted surface. You can expect some maring of paint and make sure
you use all the right hardware, its still available. I have a production
cover similar to the hood cover that snaps into the hardtop to cover the
soft top.
