Exactly my problem.  The hardtop I have bought was painted red (very 
poor job at that) to match the PO's Bugeye.  My car is Old English 
White.  Just need to paint it back to the original color.  Do you think 
I should just mask the rear window off, or take it out?  Would not like 
to break the Triplex glass if this is likely.
