I agree with an earlier poster, that (based on those pictures) there is nothing in the way of putting a soft top in that car. When folded, the top glass would rest on that bar, but if you covered it with foam, I don't think you'd have any other problems.

Obviously you'd have to replace the "plate" discussed above, with the plate that is welded to the soft top frame, but otherwise theres nothing else to get in the way, unless there are also changes to the CR in the roll hoop area.

I suspect all the "you can't put a soft top in a CR" talk came from the fact that the CR didn't come with one, therefore people just assumed it couldn't happen, and used that bracing as a reason (an excuse).

^ Correct. I was only addressing the physical limitations to the install.

the hardtop catchers normally bolt to part of the softtop frame. people who gut the softop either fab a plate to replace the missing part of the softop frame, use a nut to secure the 10mm bolts (what i did), or just use 2 bolts instead of 3. just curious what they did for the cr. heres a picture of the area i'm talking about,

Physical limitations aside .... Getting the electrical in there would most likely be a cluster fu**.

But I agree, anything is possible.
