<<<You can tell if it is a real factory top by 2 things:
1 - a molded "W" in a raised circle at the center of the panel below the
rear window.  "W" is for Webasto.>>>
Not quite complete or entirely correct. W on a factory hardtop would be for
Watsonian Sidecar, not Webasto. And not all factory hardtops were made by
Watsonian. Originally Ferranti Laminations of Wales was the vendor who
supplied the factory hardtops. Watsonian came later.
