If you're planning on replacing the top on your car I just discovered a little trick. After watching the instructional tape from Moss Motors many times I started the project. All went well until I got to attaching the top to the rear drip rail. The new clips are difficult to put on and even harder to take off when adjustments are required. The clips have sharp points in them that pierce the fabric so they won't slip off. To keep from damaging the cloth and make adjustments go much easier, use the clips from your old top.With a needle nose pliers bend or break off the little points so they don't dig into the cloth.They provide enough grip to hold the material in place, can be removed much easier than the new clips and won't damage the cloth. When you have the top properly located you can replace the old clips with the new clips for the final setting. It was difficult, but can be done! Steve
