Yep, mine leans forward towards the windshield and the horizontal rods are in. When yo get a chance can you measure the height from your cross piece to the top of the tub please so I can compare how high it is.

Thanks Ryan.  That looks right. My main problem I think is the rear part is to high, not enough top to cover the tailgate area. I've tried using the bottom hole on the adjustable support but still to high. can you give me a measurement from the inside edge of the tub to the edge of the mounting bracket ? The instructions  I  found said to make the holes 27 3/4" and 29 3/4" from the outside edge. It also said to use sheet-metal screws to secure it so who knows. My best guess Is I have the upright in the wrong place somehow.

Randy, you should have no problem with your roll bar. My top was originally on an M38 ish tub with a roll bar and no problems.  sure wish I had paid more attension a few years ago when I took it off...............

Thanks Ryan.  Yep that was what I was looking for. That is close to where mine is but I cant seem to get the back to work out. It's a 49 3A as well.

I've got a Best top from a jeep I got rid of a couple years ago. Anyone have a measurement for the "Top Bow" location or a photo. Im having trouble finding the right spot.

Thanks,  J.R.
