Which screw is this?

[Chris E.]

I'm missing a screw (both driver and passenger side) on this bracket for the convertible top. I looked at both Paragon and Long Island. I'm still not clear on what screw I need to order.

Thoughts?

Chris..The weatherstrip should have a tap on it that this screw holds. Search "convertible top rear bow" By Bill Trinka and you should get your answer..Bill

Here is an original Mar64 - it may help if no changes made to the area.
Appears to be a piece of metal from gasket.

It looks like you are missing a piece of weatherstrip that has the tab which the screw goes through. It is small pan head screw/ phillips/ about a # 4 or #6 X3/8 inch

Chris -

The molded filler piece that forms the front of the top frame lower side weatherstrip has a molded-in steel reinforcement with two tabs for the attaching screws; you appear to be missing those filler pieces. See photo below.

Yup, I just put two and two together and figured that out. I knew that I had yet to install those rubber pieces. I haven't yet because I didn't want them scraping on the paint on the top of the door.

Thanks guys.
