Accurate Top Fitment

[TonyJohnson]

Replacing a double wall top with a single and need to drill the holes. The question is how do these tops fit in relation to the doors, drip rail, back rail, and inside top rails?



1. Does the inside leading edge of the tops drip rail line up with the edge of the door jamb. On this pic it's about 3/8" back. What's correct?
2. Looking at the back, top, driver's side of the fender, where does the drip rail run in correct position?
3. On the inside, the top rail of the bed is shaped like the bottom rail of the top. Should these be lined up perfectly (so that if I ran my finger down the intersection of the two, they would be in the same position, top to bottom?
4. Does the top drip rail meet the windshield drip rail, or is there a gap?
5. Am I being too anal...

Lastly, I know the body sags but mine has a 6-point cage and is fairly stiff. Does it make any sense to try to force the top into correct position or should I wait until restoration to try to get it right? I just don't want to break the top... Thanks, in advance,
