Hopefully someone out there has installed one of these. I've got a couple of questions on how to finish it and I need a part that no one in the states has. All I have is the backlight frame, the glass (plexiglass) glazing for the glass and the seal to the body. My question is how do I finish the under side of the frame. The frame is open unlike my previous one. I know there are panels that attach on the underside and I believe they slide under the window glazing and the fuzzy door seal that goes all around. Is that what holds them in place? However there doesn't seem to be enough space for the finishing panel to hold under the glazing. So if that can be explained I would appreciate it.
Second is the polished escutcheon that screws into the underside where the bolt goes thru the frame to hold the surrey or hard top on. I'm missing one of them. Lost it over the years. So hopefully someone hear on the forum has a spare I can buy.

I currently have a much older fiberglass backlight frame that I had to take off my TR250 to have some bodywork done. I noticed two cracks on both sides at the base of the flange that holds the glass in. I could grind out the old dried out glass and re-glass everything, put currently I'm not physically capable of doing it. So the body tech is helping me out with the Moss top. I'm going to sell the old one when I'm done with all this. Thanks.
