RE: Parrish hardtop for Spider/rear deck "knobs" needed

["Jeff Greenfield" <alfaguy@xxxxxxxxxx>]

<I picked up a Parrish (sp?) hardtop for my Spider from a fellow Atlantan
(thanx Alan!) -- it's even the same color as my Spider!  However, I'm a
bit fuzzy on how it is supposed to attach and how it was
weather-stripped.  Alan has indicated that there are supposed to be some
sort of mounts that attach to the chrome trim plates between the molding
around the convertible top and the rear deck lid (same place that the
"knobs" for the attachment point for the OEM metal hardtop attach).
Does anyone have more information (or a photo) on those rear attachment
points and weather-stripping for the Parrish hardtops?>


I'm pretty sure that the aftermarket (Parrish) hard top does not attach to
the chrome thingy's forward of the trunk lid as the OEM hardtop does on the
later cars. Rather there is a turnbuckle arrangement of sorts that hooks to
either a special bracket or part of the convertible top frame where it
attaches to the body just rear of the doors.

Sorry I can't be more specific, it's been more than a few years since I've
seen on of these.

HTH,

Jeff
