When I replace the top on my '30 phaeton, how do I match up the snaps on the new top to the snaps on the windshield frame from the old top? I haven't ordered anything yet. I know you guys that have been through this will have an answer.

The top snaps are pretty standard, the ones to worry about are the side curtains post in the lower stanchions . Who are you going to order the top from.? I would ask them first.

LeBarron Bonney sends out a strip of paper for you to mark where the snaps are, and then they put them where you want. This system worked good for me, everything fit great! I also had a great fit with their product, 28 roadster top, and would not hesitate to recommend them.

My 40B top came from L-B and the snaps fit perfectly. Gar Williams
