<< Thanks to all who helped me on my last question regarding fitting the
convertible top to my TR4.
One more question: The metal strip that is attached to the top of the my
windscreen does not appear to be secure enough to hold a top that is under
tension. On mine, the strip is secured by two small screws, one on each end,
through the snaps that the top attaches to.
As a result, the strip is free to lift in the center of the windscreen.
Is it supposed to be secured by additional fasteners and, if so, where? (I'm
going to get the books, but I know you can understand my eagerness to drive
this car NOW.

There should be bunch of rivets holding the alum cap to the windscreen frame
- about 12 or so. Before you put in the rivets you need to seal the space
between. Originally some black rubber sealant. Silicone should work okay.
Also don't drive the car with the top on and the cap like you describe.
You're liable to bend it or worse.
