Re: Bestop Bikini
Under the rubber seal which is glued in place on the top of the
windshield frame? the plastic lip on the bikini-top is longer than
the header channel, and would interfere with the ends of the channel,
from what I could see. It was obvious that it wasn't intended to work
that way, so I abandoned the idea. Especially since it was glued in
place.
