I cleaned up the latches and got them functioning correctly. Learned that they have a lock feature as well.

Next question, what are the little hooks on the side of the hatch for?

It is for the hooks that keep the door in open position. See here:

Like this?

Got the new seals from City Racer in. It was a real chore but they seem excellent.

This poor soft top has given up after 25 years. I thought I’d ‘freshen’ the rig up with a 60 year old hard top and paint it to match. (more or less)

Thanks to @tahoe40/45, Amazon and the local glass shop, I got the first of the three panes installed this weekend. It was harder than I thought it would be but then realized I probably should have been pulling the rope out rather than in. I’ll try that with the next one.
