Thanks guys for the comments.

For the cost JC it should be "top notch", sold a kidney to afford this lot - lol

But then you only really do this once and when in use we wanted it both functional and looking good.

There is some gap filling needed but I'll source black or dark blue EVA foam to make small seals to improve water deflection and so as not to damage the paint.

Marty G - Kenmer made me up the whole soft top hood bow, door frames and windscreen attachments in one hit to make sure it all went together properly. The door frames are located by two pins into the door and that wide bottom strip provides weather protection and additional stability in-situ. They don't move too much.

Driving home last night with the roof up the top was very taught and I couldn't fault the job from a use perspective.

Double GG - yes Blackmans fully covered the door frames and made up the sliding window arrangement, the felt needs to loosen up a touch otherwise they work well.

Boxxy - I'll be delivering the car intact with the bolt on fittings attached so that O'Briens have no excuse for mucking up the repair.

Not sure if it might have been the tension on the soft top to screen lockdowns that set off the crack. I have backed off the lever tensions a tad.

Cheers
