Thanks for the reply! Your top looks great! You had to order the tack strip separate from the top kit? My kit is very old, probably from the 1980s? and its a non zipper rear window kit. I have looked thru the pieces and I don't remember seeing anything like the tack strip in the pile. Also did you remove the stock rivets before installing the new tack strip?
