Hi Carl,

Height from where? Are you looking for the arc height, i.e. draw a straight line between the bow ends and find the rise in the middle?

It is important to know that the rear bow pivots as the top is raised or lowered. I have a Ford service bulletin dated May 7, 1940, which shows the top mechanism, but no measurements. A good auto trim shop is usually the best source of information.

Mine measures 17” from the bottom side of the rear bow to the top edge of the body directly under the rear window.
