Has anyone taken off there hardtop yet ?I just did and went to put the soft top up and the metel braces are hitting it and wont go up. Now I thought we could put the top up and down with the hardware still installed. Because if I do have to take it off thats going to be a royal pain in the ass? Please help

Yea you will need to take them out to put soft top up or get some oem hardtop side latches

Or use maddiction 2 peice rear latches for a fraction of the cost of oem latches.

During installation, are there any electrical matters I should be concerned about? Such as disconnecting the rear defroster and roof up/down controls.

I have an 04'

When I removed my soft top I just disconnected the motors, unbolted all of it and took it out. I had it easy as I removed the whole interior 'because racecar'. But you should have no issues.
Mine fit prett well, too. I had a noticeable gap under the rear window where it meets with the area in front of the trunk. I Didn't mind it, and figured I put the weatherstrip on the wrong part of the top. Otherwise, like a glove!

Hi guys, I've been searching all over to see where exactly the groove is to place the seals on for a Forbidden USA OEM hardtop. I've just recently got mine shipped to me, and just for the sake of not messing up, I was just wondering if anyone knew specifically where to place the seals. It sounds real simple when the instruction is "just place the seals along the groove," but I would like other people's opinion as to where exactly it is just so I can be sure. Thanks you guys!
