The hardtop for a Mk1a will have two small sheet metal parts riveted to the panel below the rear window. The straps that support the soft top cover attach to them.
The button that attaches the latch on the triangle window are different sizes. Early tops are small. Later tops are larger. I don't know if this was a running change (likely) or tied to the model change.
Is a big concern as well as the rear C post foot pad covers the drain holes Doh. For a car from wet soggy England they sure didn't think some things through.
So when Brad Jenkinson built you that nice metal hood scoop you took him that top.
Since Lee and I often fish in the same watering hole my fingerprints have probably been on them .
Lee and I trade back and forth ... and I have his last and best one. Kinda hard to keep when you have 3 tops and 2 cars one in pieces. Will need to move one in January.
