Mechanical aspects now understood and I believe I can proceed.



Thanks to all who responded in a 'short' time'  Several of you pointed

out that I don't need to get new trim panels - just modify the existing

ones.  Thanks - will do.  Also several of you suggested getting the

strikers, etc., off of the seller's car.  Good idea, however, the seller

some time ago sold the car to someone who did not want the top.  So

the top was the only thing Miataly in the garage.

	Yes, we did.  It doesn't look too bad.  But I'm not sure
