The driver side mount uses the same stainless exhaust clamp as the passenger side but the driver side clamp is attached to the custom aluminum bracket bracket.

You have just purchased the finest Hardtop available on the market today. By following these simple instructions you will have many years of enjoyment and the Hardtop will last as long as your car. The following tips will be helpful if you are qualified to do it yourself. If not, we recommend that your Hardtop be installed and finished by a professional body shop.

A point to remember, automobiles are mass-produced and built with certain tolerance. Sometimes these tolerances are quite large. No two are alike.

After this initial installation procedure on/off will be as easy as convertible up/down.
