yeah i replaced it, i just used the same bolts from the old one since they were all reuseable, the only thing i need to get are the plastic tabs to hold the molding trim for around the windows, i think jeffs bronco graveyard sells complete hardware sets for caps, im pretty sure thats where i saw them at

Ya i have seen them there, after i get a price on the damage for my trans and get that fixed i can look into ordering the kit. I just have to wait till it warms up to take my top off 
Then i can get the clips in and bolt the sucker in. That might also help a little with getting my back window up

Ya nobody likes leaks, my top doesn't leak so far but i don't know how much rust is under it on the edges. I only have 4 bolts 2 on each side of the horizontal side parts and thats it. Those were not even tightened down till i got my hands on it. As with most of this truck it seems to be held together by luck and loose bolts

Maybe a torx head? That could be a PITA but i have to get the kit and look at it. I will find some way of getting it done. But i don't want it to rain while i have the cap off so i have to leave it on for now.

Oh ya i know, get that wet seat smell going, bleh. I got 2 waret leaks, abd it is bothe wing windows on my door, my driverside doesn't close and the passenger one has about 6 pennies and still won't seal. I noticed the PO painted the old worn cracked weatherstripping black so it looked glossy and nice. What a douche waffle.

Ya i know the procrastination feeling i had an 82 mustang that had a door problem and i tried new hinge pins but it appeared that some super fat dude leaned on the open door causing the hinge welds to crack and open enough to missalign it. either that or it was just old
