I am looking for pictures of the corner of the header portion of the convertible top (from the top side). I am missing a little tab or something (I don't know that is why I am asking for pics) on the corner of the top and need to know what it is so I can replace it.

Thanks in advance,

Al

The only tab I can think of is part of the tension cables... If you have new cables then you'll have the tabs...

Here you go let me know if this is what you are looking for. This top is off the car. I peeled the top back so you can see the bracket.

I looked at my top and what I am talking about is a little higher and more inside. There are two small posts on the header that I am trying to figure out what they are. They are on both sides and about 3 inches apart (my top is the frame only, my top has been removed). I modified your pic to show about where they are. Unfortunately, I cannot take a picture of mine.

Your in luck. Those two holes are where the cloth backing screws into the frame. It's the piece of cloth that runs the length of the top between the frame and the top material. Screws go right through the material into the frame. The picture won't load. Not sure why I will try later.
