    Search for w/s specs. I have seen an angle spec and also a distance from top center of w/s to the center of the rear cockpit edge. The distance spec is easiest to use as you cut notches in the ends of a 2x4 at the right length and the 2x4 just lays in position holding the w/s at the right angle.

    To make it easy, use the specs for the F5 premium soft top. For a MKIV, you want 27" from the top of the rear door opening to the top screw of the wind shield post (0:38 into the middle video here: http://www.factoryfiveparts.com/1519...ible-soft-top/).

    EDIT: You can reach the video directly by going to the web page for F5's parts, searching for "soft top", and clicking the one for your particular Roadster model.
