I'm hoping someone can help with installation of a new convertible top boot for my 69 RR. I bought it from Year One but the hardware packet that came with it was from Legendary. I know I have to attach the metal snaps on each side but I can't see how the front leading edge fastens to the crossover bar along the back seat. It appears to be missing clips or fasteners along the front edge. I've attached a photo showing underneath. Am I missing something?

It's missing the rubber/plastic strip that lets it slide into chrome piece behind seat filler. CALL Year One...

I was afraid of that. Looks like a call to Year One on Monday. If anyone has a photo of this missing piece please post. Thanks! Also, here's a photo of my finished RR.

Absolutely beautiful car! I'm glad you put the hubcaps on and not road wheels like every other one out there!!
