Is it possible? I've got a Britax ragtop out of a beetle and was wondering if it will fit into a Notch or is the shape wrong?

Do you need left or right handed tinsnips?😀
If it doesnt fit, just keep cuttin.
Convertables are cool 😀
Just make some cardboard templates and see if its close or find a wreck to test it on, if wrecks are available,{me not know how rare}

You should be able to make it fit. If necessary, a little bit of gentle bending may be required to make it suit the profile of the new roof, which alters the overall dimensions. 🙂
