Soft Top Installation (Corners)
Finally installed my new Everflex soft top (thanks to the article on here and the WBCC website) and am down to gluing the two flaps together in the rear (debated sewing but apparently John Twist states glue to facilitate proper folding) and installing the inside corners properly. I'm having trouble with getting the inside corners to install neatly so I'm wondering if I can get some advise and/or photos for help.
To my understanding, flaps (1) and (2) go under the single screw with washer first. And flap (3) goes under the pad. I'm having trouble with the later flap (3) to get it to install/install neatly so any advice or your installed photos would help greatly. This is for a '74 frame.

Here are pictures of how my old top came off, and a picture of how I installed the new corner. I did all this before I installed the weather stripping bracket.
I have to say though, almost anything you do will work. No one has ever poked their head up under there and inspected my top on Maggie.
