Will replace my soft top soon. Already bought one with heated glass.
2003 model

Will buy the Modifry straps. Do they come with the rivets?

What size rivets, how many, do I need for the top (not the straps)?

Good writeup?

Robbins roof has everything needed including rivets. Modifry straps are not necessary with this replacement roof as OE-type elastic is furnished. @s2knew 's roof frame was missing some springs and covers that were probably lost by a previous owner. Not necessary to remove or replace these.

You quoted my message that notes you don't need any "accessories" or extra straps. The roof kit has the OE elastic straps and all the rivets.

Everything but instructions is in the box.

Someone installed that top wrong!!! Anyone else notice that that 3rd bar should be under a big flap that gets tied to the #2 bar?

Well hell... I was curious about this and just discovered that my replacement top is the same way... third bar is outside the fabric loop. 2nd bar is inside it. It doesn't seem to cause any issues on my car, but it will gnaw at me that it's not correct.

@2poor2mod How are the Robbins installed? Mine is fully visible on the car ceiling, i.e. outside the fabric loop.
