I have an OEM hardtop for my MY01 but the previous owner half-assed the install. Doesnt have the side or rear catchers or whatever you call them. He literally screwed a bolt on each side and the rear isn't attached to any strikers. I looked at hardtopguy and I don't want to buy the wrong part especially since everything's pretty expensive.

What parts do I exactly need for a full hardtop install? He does have the fromt hardtop strikers, but what do I need for the side and rear?

 

does he have something like this attached? If not, and you want to be "permanent hardtop" those are a cheaper solution over oem hardware.

if you want to go to OEM attachment pieces you need hardtop catchers which attach to the body of the car and the latches which bolt to the hardtop....along with the bolts to attach the pieces. You dont really need the side brushes, they just make it "prettier" and hide the hole
