Single wall top questions

Can anyone help me out on this ? I bought this single wall top awhile back and am now trying to get things back together. I have this tracking that I believe goes in the window channel. Does it? It appears to have been shortened, any ideas? I have looked at several double wall tops and they don't have this tracking. Please advise. Thanks.

Re: Single wall top questions

I just looked at mine. The top ends about a 1/8" from the end of that exterior lip. The bottom ends about 1/4-1/2" from the angle on the interior side. I'd guess either someone cut it down or you've got a passenger side bracket on the driver's side.

I'll keep my eye out for you. I bought mine for 300 bucks and had a friend redo some areas...this top is really sweet.

Re: Single wall top questions

I have had a couple of single wall tops and I have never seen a track like that or holes for one. Mike

Re: Single wall top questions

I just checked my single wall and the track is about an inch longer on the top section. Mine goes to the edge of that first notch.
That top looks nice, does your friend want to fix another one?
