Cabriolet Linkage 1985
So the cab top finally arrived and appears to fit great. However I can't remember from my old car where the two arms attach. This is a manual system and there are two round arms with a pivot on the end. They are adjustable but I don't know where they attach.
Any help would be appreciated.

That is the arm but is the part it bolts welded on or does it bolt on. This was originally a cab but the top was removed for a fiberglass hardtop and so I don't know what else might have been removed. It looks like the piece is maybe welded to the body.

Good thing I didn't put the cover back on! The white piece the bolt attaches to on the lower part of the arm is welded to the pillar.

I was afraid it was welded. I think it was cut off to make room for the cage. There are two bolt holes above that. I may try a piece od angle and see it can be made to work that way. I cut the cage out as the top wouldn't fit wit it in.

Well I forgot as compared to another cab I used to have. If the bracket would have still been there I probably would have figured it out. I am not sure if I cut the bracket or it was already gone. The car had fiberglass hard top when I bought it. But I did the cage

I'll double check to make sure it's welded as I took a pretty fast look at it and the carpeting is cut around it. I'll let you know if I see anything any different. I can't see a reason they'd cut it out and I'd think there would be evidence of it being ground or cut with a saw unless they did a REALLY nice touch up job.

Well I think the too is in and working. I just made a bracket out of an old bed frame. Everything seems to work as it should. I will need to adjust the windows a bit to tighten up the seal but the window zips and top latches good and tight. Thanks for the pictures they helped alot. Now I guess I will need to get rid of the hard top.
