New hardtop Fitted

[Enright]

Sounds like you have a similar idea to me. But I was thinking of fixing the hardtop to the rear deck, but in a fashion that it is still removable from the deck. I'm thinking of drilling holes in the deck (which will be capped when the roof is off) to fit the hardtop with bolts of some sort. Therefore the rear of the hardtop shouldn't need any extra fixings as the decks hinges and front clips should be sufficient for a secure fix. Might need to reinforce the deck though

To hide any unsightliness in the deck when the roof is off, how about some flying buttress style fairings behind the seats that attached from underneath? If designed and sprayed properly they could look really good.

Maybe along the lines of Marie's masterpiece....

Yes, but unlike Marie's bulges you'd be able to see the join!
