Top install tips?

[trickyrix]

Hola... well, I'm out in the fog this morning prepping the car for my new top (courtesy of Titus). The old top is off, and the old rain rail was indeed trash. The install looks pretty straightforward, but I've got a few questions...

1) That little rubber flap on the rear lip of the top well... looks like it should be outside the rain rail and the top after the install. Am I right?

2) When we were taking the top off the donor car, there was a bunch of gorilla snot in each back corner - between the rain rail and the body (on either side of the window flap). Do I need to go find some of this gorilla snot and pooky it up in there prior to install? BTW, the rain rail on the new top is all rubber - yesss!

3) What's the best way to stab the rain rail and the top back on to all of those studs back there? Is it possible to poke the top down into the well, stab the side bolts, raise the top, and then work with those studs? Have I just resigned myself to putting the hard top on for the rest of the season?

Anyhow... everything looks to be a "go" so I'll check back in a bit...

Thanks!

Booya... got it put on all by my lonesome!
