Steve )Mr Ck5) just did it, Yeild to Me, Muddin, Robbie and quite a few others have done it.


Quiet honestly I would just get a soft top. Muddin went to all the trouble to change the windsheild frame and now decided to sell her hard top...to much hassle to deal with. I didn't even put my hard top on this year.. It's just collecting mold. There is not problem putting a plate on the corner of the windsheild frame to hook the soft taop window frame too. It's much easier to do that then try to change the frame. The soft top does not use the seals that the hard top do so it does not need that changed.


Now the problem is this. A real roadster has a rocker box to keep the fire wall from leaning back. When the roof became a hard top the rocker boxes went away. You have to get that strength back.

Muddin added bracing from below with a rock slider welded in place of the rockers. Yeild, Steve and Robby all tied full roll cages into the kick pannels and headers. If you don't do something then the fire wall will lean back and the doors will never line up again. Yeild tried to get away without doing it and it took 2 days before he had problems. He ended up jacking the truck up by the rockers till the doors lined back up then built the cage and tied it in to the header.
