I have this odd problem when attaching the hardtop: If the rear locating brackets slide OK into their respective body retainers then the front fasteners fall a little bit "ahead" of their windscreen

I suspect that the PO of my car had the same problem since the rear brackets are missing from my top. He drove the car 9 years with only the windscreen clamps and the side bolts holding the top on.

According to the Production Trace Certificate from BMIHT, the hardtop I have is the one the car was shipped with, back in 1966, to its original dealership destination. This is all I know about MkIII

My hardtop is the same way. When I got it, I had to tweak the front clamps to even grab the brackets on the windscreen. It had no rear clamping parts, and I had to fashion my own side clamps from so

My bugeye hardtop seems to be a fairly decent fit on my MK2. Good enough for me to think about keeping it, as my Bugeye doesn't have a windsceeen to clip to. Besides, the rollbar might just interfere
