Question Windstop install

I need some assistance installing a windstop on my 98 C2.

Zippering in to the top was a snap, where / how do the hinges attach to the rooof frame?

Many thanks in advance.

The hinges mount and pivot to the sides of the frame. Look slightly above and behind the doors, on one side you will see a red button - that is the release and you will see the other mounting point directly across it on the other side. You need to mount the windstop before you zipper it to the top.

Maybe I'm just being a bit thick today...

On one side of the wind stop I have an attaching point (like it would attach to a rod) with a green painted recessed standard screw.

There is a pivot point, then a large circular hub with a red arrow and a notched metal end with a blue dot on it.

The other side of the windstop simply has two forks.

I don't see a red dot anywhere on the cab frame. Do any of the frame bolts need to be removed to install the windstop?

Is it best to install with the top up or down?

Any photos or diagrams would be great!

Thank again

Thank you All for your help with the windstop!

It appears I am missing an attaching bracket, so Monday it's off to the parts store.

Best wishes,

Howard
