Got to disagree with you on this one, Jay. Both our 60 Bugeyes had a row of
Lift the dots at the edge of the passenger compartment and a short top--right
from the showroom. Don't know much about the longer ones that fit to the
top mounting brackets, but I'd think they'd need a tonneau rail to fit the
brackets in a similar manner to the top.
