Chris, Sorry to respond so late to this message, I have been out of town.
Could you give me some more info or a web address on these tops?
Thanks

it, before giving them a taste of my ultra cool Hawaiian Koa wood dash as

All Prestige tops come with fasteners already installed to factory
specs...at least as factory as Coventry exemplified. On my Spit, the
original top actually fastened to the cross bars in the frame...5 snaps
across the forward bar, 4 across the back. On the Prestige, both of these
areas come as full wrap style...four snaps each and fastening to the other
side of the wrap.
