My wife an I replaced the top on our '78 a couple of years ago. We got it too tight. It was before I was aware of this list and the advice it offers. Consequently, many of the snaps on the body pulled loose. (I had had to replace them w/ a pop rivet tool and may not have done a real good job.) So don't get it too tight. I saw a tip on the list a couple of weeks ago that suggested using some kind of non-permanent glue to attach the top to the header rail temporarily. Then adjust the tension, mark it, and you will know where you're at. I wish we had thought of that. We are now considering whether to drill out the pop rivets on the header rail and try to let out a little of the top or bite the bullet and get a new top.
