Hardtop restoration
« on: September 25, 2016, 18:25:27 »
The shop that did my interior restoration finished the work on the car but they took the hardtop apart and then decided to close shop. I am inclined to try and reassemble it myself but need help with sequencing and any hints/suggestions. I have all the old bits and a new headliner. Thanks in advance for any help. Tim

Tim,

I would read Gernold's article:

There is another w113 expert that has a very informative picture video that may be of help:
