I really like the look of KC's car being colour coded, but I think I will keep it as matt black for a while or at least until my friend can spray it for me.

I have found that I need to make a few adjustments, there are a couple of grub screws that need to be adjusted in the pillars behind the seats and hopefully that will cure the rattle.

The spikes should locate into a round slotted bracket on each side. I had to buy these as my B never had them. Has yours.

I am not too sure about the brackets, have you got any pictures?

Shame about there not being rubber on the locating spikes, would have been quite well engineered.

Re: Hardtop

My hard top has these spikes... I'm not sure what you're wanting a photo of. The spikes or sockets where they locate in the door pillars?

Hi Bumble, if you could get a picture of the sockets in the door pillars that would be great!

Re: Hardtop

this may be what your looking for.... If you pull off the trim panel where the spikes go this is what I found fitted. I guess it locates the end of the spike? Not sure if there should be anything else.

Re: Hardtop

Both pics are the drivers side. There is a small grub screw just forward of a socket where the spike locates. Are these any good?

Re: Hardtop

I adjusted the windows perfectly yesterday. Took a while but it was worth it.

Would anyone who doesn't have a hardtop like to sell me those brackets?
