What type of Rag, ORiginal, or afermarket? Ovals came with 2 different types or rags, 1 was the three fold rag (pre august 55) and the other is a 2 fold rag (post August 55)
If its an original roof yuoer looking at getting, they are quite good with the elements.

N!

If you're going to do it, do it original if you can. Hate you to open up that nice roof, and actually have it devalue that baby of yours.

Squiz....

There usually refered to as round corner and square corner.

do you want a sunroof or a hard top ??? what do you mean, but either should be no problem if you can find decent panel beater.
