Top looks great. I remember doing the same thing your going through now, when building a P- speedster kit years back. Though not in the build manual, I added a support rod between the windshield bow and the first main bow. Drilled a small indention in the windshield bow, center, then drilled hole into the main one, (center and at angle to face the indention I'd made in the windshield bow), not all way through it though, for rod to seat into. Rod end that went to the front had a thick rubber pointed cap on it.. (Excess part from something I had around here). Back of it went into the second, main bow, hole that I drilled there.

I know it's not the correct thing to do on your car, but it sure did stop all that flopping and noise that go along with these type of tops.

Just an idea from 30 years ago,, Beautiful car you have there.
