Great instructions Irish. You really helped to make quick work of this. Another install tip I shoved a rag in the opening before attempting to put the screws in. Extra insurance as I really didnt want to go looking for a dropped screw.

Default Do the allen screws need to be ordered separately?

Sorry for the dumb question, car is buried in the garage & it'll be a chore to put the top down when its 20F outside to verify..

Do the allen screws typically come w/ the car or do I need to order them separately? I ordered the spinlock inserts & "other parts required to install the top" from an out of state dealer but only received the spinlocks.

As an aside, I ended up with a polar silver top for my arctic silver boxster.. anyone want to trade? See thread in the classifieds for more details.

Thanks-

Guys,
Great thread! I, too, want to get a hardtop. Will most PCA regions let you run DE events with a hardtop and without the broomstick test?
