    70 Soft Top Frame Header Questions

    Below are some pictures of the header from my 70 Convertible.

    Pictures 1 and 2 below show a hole that was used to insert a single screw to hold the tack strip in roughly the middle of the header. Should there be a screw? The other interesting thing is the one tab was under the tack strip as shown in photo 2 along with the hole. The tack strip is clearly original so must have been that way from the factory. Should there be a tab where the screw was used? There is no evidence of a tab by the hole. There is barely surface rust on the header and ALL other tabs are intact and perfectly good.



    Photos 3 and 4 below show top fabric under the rivets that attach the header to the folding frame. Should there be fabric under the rivets?



    I appreciate any insight.


    Kind Regards,


    Bill

    Re: 70 Soft Top Frame Header Questions

    I know on a 68 there aren't any holes on the top of the header. You want that smooth so the top doesn't have lumps. The underside should of have some tabs that are bent over to hold the bonding strip. The rivets on the side don't look original either. If anything the top had a spring cable to hold in down and was just glued to the frame. The weather strips were screwed on top to hold everything in place. You top was replaced at some time and the installer made modifications. John
