After hours of frustration, I trekked down to Keith’s. He is a master craftsman and endless patience. It took the two of us 3 hours to remove the targa pad; and 10 minutes to replace the targa top latches, that’s why I needed to remove the targa pad.
A couple of observations and suggestions arose: 1. Remove the pillar covers. 2. The pad uses 12 short screws that have a washer under the head. While they hold the pad on securely, they don’t make removal and installation easy. 3. Longer screws will make installation easier; that is, long enough to hold the head while find the holes. 4 The horizontal screws can 1 3/4”, vertical screws around 1 1/2” Longer screws make finding the holes easier. And they helped snug in the ends around the latch cover. And all that was just to replace the two targa top latches….. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Attached image(s)
