Mike,
CF38690UO is in the very state you mention, sitting in my garage as I
type, so if you're going nuts, it's not the hard top-soft top thing.
Just remove the 5 bolts fixing the rear stiffener angle and carefully
tuck it among the folded top, remove the front bolt from the "B" post
soft top frame attachment, install the hardtop and replace the bolt you
removed from the "B" post attachment with a slightly longer one (because
the tie bar for the hard top is too thick for the soft top bolt). I got
the bolts from TRF (#ZKC36). You also need a stowage cover for this
purpose, also available from TRF (#824851 (black))
There is no benefit from doing this other than it looks cool and you
don't have to find a place to store your soft top.
Hope this helps,
Jim Davis
