funny this thread. my 00 JDM has been fitted with a glass screen sometime and i've noticed it's been rubbing on the toneueux (??) fastening rivet-type-things.
it's alot the top edge of the screen. i just noticed it by chance today, so i got the ol' hacksaw out and cut off these fastening rivet, and filed smooth.
i'm SURE the other week the roof didnt go down as much as normal, but thought nothing of it becuase it was fairly cold outside and just thought the fabric was tight.
i'm now guessing the top edge of the rear screen got caught on these rivet things and stopped the roof going down fully.
(theres 4 along the rear compartment, where the roof folds down into. the inner 2 were the ones causing problems.

They dropped the two inner fastners when they brought the glass screen out for this reason. I read someone saying they'd changed theirs to glass and warned others of this issue and to remove them on a conversion a while back. Wouldn't've crossed my mind!

They have since updated there policy document to exclude soft tops IIRC.

They should be removed completely by unscrewing at the rear.
