is there any info on where to:

completely remove soft top and motors for their deletion
remove the OEM seatbelts (I have aftermarket harnesses now)
re install the rear tray to have a nice shelf inside

I checked the softop removal thread out but was wondering if anyone had any better ideas where to look

I have a Seibon Mugen style hardtop and the top center windshield area of it has crazy wind noise because it doesn't sit flush with the windshield frame. Has anyone had this fitment issue? +70mph the wind noise in unbearable.

if you have OEM gear then this is rectified by using thicker rear seals and shims under the front latches. All apart of the adjustments that one has to do normally. Effectively this raises up the rear, and drops down the front of the HT. It might take a few goes to get it right.

contact adhesive (Selleys kwik grip gel) should work, used this on all my M style HT seals

back from the dead. Added some additional hard tops, updated some info, and added common questions, such as "Can I keep my soft top if I have a hard top"...
