I'm sorry to hit the board with so many questions at once, but it's getting more and more obvious that Bubba did the soft top on my '59 the last time it was done. I've searched the multiple places that I know of to find the answers to these questions, but can't find acurate answers.
On a '59 soft top, does the rear bow attach to the frame on the inboard side, or the outboard side? I have it on the outboard side now, and it fits well, however, on some of the literature that Al Knoch supplied it appears that the rear bow on a '59 attaches on the inside. He seems to show it on the outside on a 61 or 62 frame. Which way is it for a '59?
Also, my frame has a male snap on each side on the rear part of the frame that supports the weatherstipping that goes against the rear of the side glass. In my new top kit, there are two straps that obviously attach to these snaps. Where does the other end go? How are they attached? I can't find any place where this is shown.
Finally, the weatherstripping for the rear bow on a '59. I can see there are holes in it for the screws for the rear latches, as well as holes for the two additional nutserts that are in the rear bow. Is it stapled on to the tack strip also? Al's video only shows putting a Mohair on a '58 top, so they didn't cover a '59. Thanks to all in advance!
