I need help! IS their a book or a diagram out there that shows where all of the rubber molding goes on the convertable top? I dop not have a guide at all and all of the rubber modlings and seals are not on the car. I have the Haynes book but that is mainly engine information. Is there a book out there that has new top & boot installation? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif

Steve, for starters you could use the Moss Parts catalog. It does a pretty good job of showing where everything goes. Or you can use their web site. https://www.mossmotors.com/Browse/ComponentMenuProducts.aspx?WebCatalogID=12&PlateTypeID=1

If you order a catalog from any of the major suppliers (Moss, as already suggested, or The Roadster Factory https://www.the-roadster-factory.com/, Victoria British, etc.) they will usually have enough detail to show what you're missing.
If you have a Spitfire, I would suggest Spitbits' web site (https://www.spitbits.com/Triumphparts.htm) again with a good exploded view that is available online. Or UK sites like Canley Classics (https://www.canleyclassics.com/) sell parts for all Triumphs, and have good online diagrams.
Some sites (VicBrit and Moss) have their own part numbers, which makes it difficult to cross-research. TRF, Canley and SpitBits use original Triumph part numbers.
Another thought is to see if you can get the original Leyland parts catalogs on ebay. I have one for my Spit, and I find it invaluable to help show what's missing and in some cases how to assemble.

Its not marque specific, but the Haynes Restoration Manual "Classic Car Interiors" ISBN 1 85010 932 X does a pretty good job of walking you through most of the fitting issues.
