[Roadsters] FW: soft top

[orangedawg orangedawg]

On a side note, the stock weatherstrip is still available from Nissan.  97785-12900 I think.  It cost me about $25.  Just ordered one last month for my soft top install (though I will probably hire that out, I don't feel confident enough in doing a self-install).

I’ve never installed a soft top myself but have had a couple installed by shops. Before you cut anything for the snaps, make sure the top will fit. The shop I used – who had been doing tops for decades - had to add material to the back of the top to make it long enough. The top was a Robins top, picked up from one of our suppliers. Robbins used to have problems with these tops but I don’t know if they still do. This was in about 2005 or so.



Where did you find the gasket?



Good luck with the install.



Peace,

Pat

I am installing the soft top on an early 67 roadster.



I see this:  http://www.311s.org/pmwiki-311/pmwiki.php?n=TechSection.SoftTopInstall



Anyone have anything better?  We have already decided to do the snaps in the back first, then do the front.  I think that makes more sense.



Btw I found a generic gasket for the front where it meets the windshield - $12!
