SLHetal,
You might be doing OEM/Factory tops but I have never had two tops with the "Lift-A-Dots" all in the identical posistion from top to top. If only one "Dot" is so much as a 1/4" off then at best you will have a 1/4" buckle in the top or in worst case scenario the convertible "Dot" wont reach the pin...causing another hole to be drilled in a painted body. If I have the top then by all means completely mount it before painting and remove for painting. My post above strictly speaking -until- you have the top in hand do not drill the body for the pins.
Sorry if I was misleading.
