Seeing how our hosts see unable to provide ANY instructions for the installation of the $1,300 hoop and canvas soft top I just purchased, I'm going to try to post pics and instructions while I do this project. Anyone is welcome to chime in and help me out. I know there is a similar thread going on right now but this one is going to be specific to the installation of a ProLine 109 regular soft top.

I am looking for 2 pics to help me finish installation. One if of the front mounting of the Front Tie Down which has both a right and left component. And the second is of the rear mounting of the Tie Down Rear, which looks like a "U"

thanks.

I'm going to try to post the left front tie down. My rear tie downs are welded to the galvanized corners on the back of the tub.

Thanks for the posting of the great pic.
Perhaps we can establish a full file of soft top, canvas' and all sundry of add on "goodies".

We all appreciate the efforts of the supporters of this bulletin board.

All,
I'm still looking for an image of the rear "U" shaped tie down for the softtop.

I've seen them and really don't think that it makes tremendous difference how they are mounted as long as they are fairly close to the tail gate opening and mounted securely. I know I've seen other Rovers with them mounted. Try going back thru posts and pictures as I think others have U tie downs instead of what I have.

Thanks. I'm assuming it doesn't matter that i have a IIA vs the late IIA or III. Regardless, completely NOT where I was figuring to place it - glad I saw the pics.
