Hey gentlemen.
Youve all been so helpful on the convert specific questions that i wanted to throw something at you guys. So most top makers will tell you that on a b body top frame only the front and rear bows get tack strips. This doesnt make sense to me for two reasons. One, the factory parts catolog shows and states that tack strips go on the center two bows. The other is, if they werent meant to be tacked they why do the center two bows have nothing to pull them forward as the top goes up. What say you guys on this? I've seen some that have like felt runners sitting in the two center bows, but according to the factory book, that's not correct... What have you guys scene and done with the different tops that are available out there?
 
My guess if they put tack strips in the two bows you would have two lines by not putting in the strips.
