Dear Brian Many thanks for your reply and the identification of the part with Superformance. The reason for my question was a comment by the seller pointing at a metal sheet of ca. 5 by 5 cm sticking out from the hard top just at the position of the C pillar, which he referred to as being a connecti...

Hard Top - Mounting

Does anybody know how the Hard Top is being mounted onto the Spider? Are there any clips or similar to attach the hard top to the C-Pillar? Does anybody have a description or pictures?

Thanks, Emanuel
