Also, purchased an used tonneau cover off mys2k3 just now to preserve the top better when its down...

 

great post ! very informative

 

Stratocoaster - Are you saying this is the brush I need to drill rivets out and replace? And that the new side trim plastic actually includes these brushes?

Also, it seems to be a bizzniatch to get to. Mine are all worn down and looks like donald trumps hair-do.

Looks like I need to take off the black bracket and the top motor to get to these?

And my current side panels don't have any brushes on them at all...Don't know if there needs to be an inner brush and aouter brush (if that makes sense?) Thanks!

 

06/01/09 Update:

- My robbins soft top arrived and looks to be in good shape. Package was not damaged and looking thru the bubble wrap all seems good

- The mcmaster carr barrel screw setup suggested by Cyclon36 is here as well. They shipped mega-fast

Still waiting on parts from Hardtopguy and Majestic before I can start...

 

Haha, I was just curious, 'cause I'm #1406

 

I got you beat, son - I am 1007! lolz

 

for the new top KC. Btw this is Mike Tran with the 01 berlina black s2k. How was the quality on the top you ordered? Glass rear window?

 

Mike - The top looks nice so far! I still haven't opened it up and spread it all over the garage, I am waiting for the rest of the parts to come in. Every review on here says the top is excellent albeit the OEM top is a little better quality, but I did save some money to replace all the other interior stuff going this route.

If you want to stop by and check out the carnage of a ripped apart S2K, let me know

 

ahh that's good to hear. My top is currently in decent shape but it's good to know i can find one for a good price. Yea i'll stop by sometime and check it out when i'm back in IA..you might have it all put together by then.
