Default Mugen replica Hardtop question

I was driving to work this morning, the hardtop rattled like crazy. When i get to work i saw that one bolt from each side came loose and its missing. Hope i didnt scratch my car. Luckily the remaining bolts and the latches held the hardtop together.

What sizes are those hex bolts or what bolt can i buy to replace those bolts.

and is there a guide to removing the replica mugen hardtop? its summer time, topdown all day every day =)

yea, i tried to take off the hardtop the other day, took out 3 bolts on each side. I thought the softtop would be able to clear the metal support but it didnt.

Is there a way to fold down that metal hardware or do you have to unbolt everything and take that out?

the removal and install procedure is easy, just need 2 guys to take off the top.


Im trying to see if there is a way of just removing the top and not the metal hardware. it will just be a quicker process. i wonder if you can fold it down.

I have the FRP version that gearshifter bought from gunshow. =)
