Funny I was going to say yes, I thought that the vis hardwares you can leave soft top in. At least with the oem or IIGQ rear hardwares you can. Yeah , no the softtop can be left in with vis hardwares. Isn't it only the izzy permanent race setup that is no softtop and the Izzy street version permanent for leaving softtop in.

I just went to my local Autozone and they had it. I couldn't find it anywhere else in my town.

On the tube its spelled 3M Windo Weld, just incase you are searching for it.

gam is mistaken your hardtop brackets dont get in the way of your soft top going up. Ive had oem brackets and aftermarket mugen ones neither got in the way. is there any diy on the rear bracket ?

Nothing they are for the OEM rear soft top brackets, the Mugen doesn't even come near the soft top. just leave blank..

^ Yep thats right.

I had an appointment to get the top painted, but it got delayed and now is on the 20th .

Once I do get it all done though, I am going to do a review of the old VIS door seals, VIS's new door seals, and Spyder562's door seals. So stay tuned for that.

Yea looks like I'm gonna need some new door seals cause I put them too close to the edge and now the windows won't shut.
