A VETERANS EXEMPT flag painted on the white top would make a statement, 
confuse most and make it blend with the schwarz car.

You should have the wrench for installing/removing the top manually. If you 
don’t you need to get one. It’s not difficult to use once you know how.

When I bought one (107) I drove to get it in the SL with the soft top up.
Thus transport was a cinch.  That top is still hanging in the garage.
(I bought it for the defroster glass.)

The key word here is “hard top”.  If he wants to change the color he’ll have to
