Last summer I thought it would be smarter to pick up a cheap hardtop for my non-running derelict 71 MGB rather than trying to piece together what remained of the soft top while the car sat and waited for the great bird of inspiration to come and convince me that resurrecting this clunker would be a good use of my time.
So we got this cheap Snugtop. It's actually pretty nice and just might have doubled the value of the car.
At first I was afraid that only one of the latches at the windshield header worked, but I fiddled with the one I thought was nonfunctional and made it work.
Since there's a pretty good chance that this car will be moving in the near future (on a trailer, of course), I figure I should see if I could figure out if there are other attachment points. I assume these aren't just held on by windshield frame latches and gravity.
Here's what I'm looking at aft of the doors
Should there be something attached to the car that meets the hardtop's bracket?
And where it meets the decklid. Does the hard top use the soft top 'catchers' in any way?
