The large flat side of the rubber trim goes on the front of the hard top (where it meets the windshield) and you will also need one additional tapping philips screw to screw it in.
can anyone with a authentic Mugen HT post detailed pics of all the seals, front, windows, and rear base.
thanks in advance.

No you do not have to remove the soft top in order to install the hardtop although you *can* choose to do this at your own discretion, but the hard top fits nicely over the soft top after you just put it down.
unfortunately I do not have step by step pictures as initially stated in the original post because I did not think it would take this long or be this complex :\
your hard top should come with THREE rubber pieces for the UNDERSIDE of the hard top in such a way that you have a rubber molding for each side of the window well **as well as** the bottom rear side of the hard top where it meets your car's rear end/trunk area.
the pieces must be installed with the FLAT side facing the hard top so the rubbery side will stick out to cushion as it is supposed to

would be able to describe these in more detail for me?
4 triangular metal reinforcement plates (goes with bolt down rear door mechanisms)
6 elongated / rounded reinforcement plates (goes with windshield release brackets)
reason being is I have a Mugen style Ht that came with no hardware or additions at all, I have managed to do all the seals, but am now wondering if I need to reinforce where everything is mounted.
cheers
