Hard Top install tips - add yours

You could try cutting a piece of foam core (poster board) to fit, it should be significantly lighter than the Al. Then glue it to the HT &glue the headliner. That is what i'm considering.

FFR used the same pins & clips to mount the hard top as used for the engine covers of the 818S. I wanted hidden fasteners so I epoxied threaded studs to the underside of the hard top at the back corners, back center and along the sides. At the back corners I made a diagonal steel brace that the threaded stud fastens to. At the sides, I was able the attach to the shock brace and used a 3-inch tab below the quarter window to hold the seam to the side sail.
