David,
I'm in the process of restoring a factory hardtop, or what I thought to be
one. It has a round indentation under the rear window with no "W" and I
didn't see a pencil serial# under the trim.
I made new brackets out of 1/8" x 1/4" bar stock for the side windows.
Not to difficult to make and they work well.
