Good to hear Bryce, BlackJacks gear is made very well, the rear bar is on the list for next year.

Very basic and not what you would call a "mod", but I thought you might find it useful... Those of you with the 3 piece hardtop may have noticed that sometimes the freedom top (front 2 panels) don't always sit as flush on the outside as other times that you have put them back on. So after I found a particular sequence for the latches that worked well last night, today I printed out numbers on a label maker and stuck them onto the respective latch. So now I can follow the sequence and get the roof flush every time!

Would that sequence be the same as what the manual suggests by chance??

If it isn't, then post away good man!!

Even if it is the same sequence it makes sense to have the stickers unless you remove and replace a lot.

The sequence I use is the same as the owner's manual - funny that. It may seem like I am stating the obvious, but the main reason I did it was because juggling the book in one hand while handling those awkward roof sections in the other isn't always that easy... Nor is actually finding the right page in the owner's manual in the first place.

I only remove the freedom top panels every once in a while.

Ifoundthe best sequence was to:

A) Remove entire hardtop
B) Put on soft top
C) Put on Spidershade
D) Put hardtop into storage under house
E) Enjoy Queensland's magnificent Spring

Works a right treat for me....
