hi guys , i have just imported a beautiful 69 deluxe pop top. There are no fixers to keep the roof secure when driving, can anyone please tell me the best place to put the fixers/toggle ? its a front hinged model, many many thanks
 
I hope this is what you are talking about?

I had to buy new rubber pieces for all my hold downs. They are located about 2 inches give or take, from the curve, coming from the front. If that made sense? LOL Hard for me to put it in words.

This is what I had to do for my passenger side till I could find the right hold down bracket.

Mine also has this one in the rear of the hole, right in the center. I am a bit confused on how it is supposed to hook, but here is a pic none the less. LOL

Here is a shot that shows where the hold down in the first pic is located. You can see it if you look to the upper right of the pic. That is the driver side.

That one is for the rear. It doesn't latch like the side one's do. The one's for the side you have to pull down and put them in their cradles. They have nothing in the center of ball. I had to buy after market one's and then found some of the cradles at a Pic n Pull.

That one in the ebay link is like the one in my third picture I posted. I have no clue how it actually works. LOL
