Bought one of those from 50resto and had it installed with the new top. There were no instructions included with mine.

The guys at the shop said it required a lot of drilling to get it installed. It looks great now that its on there. My only issue with it is that the adhesive on the velcro they use is way too much and has a low melt point.

Here in S. TX, it was constantly melting off and leaving a gooey mess everywhere. I removed the male side, the female side is sewn to the headliner. I am going to try and replace it with some regular velcro with less adhesive.

If you live somewhere where the temp dosent exceed 80* it might be ok as is.

it should look much better once installed though,
