I finally broke down and purchased a hardtop for my '72. It's a factory top, in excellent condition with clear glass, good headliner and the only rubber that needed replacing was the seal for the do

I do vaguely remember hearing that the hardtop can be installed over the soft-top, but I fail to see how. You would have to remove the rear bar, otherwise you would not be able to get the rear bolts
