    I've been sorting through a bunch of soft tops, doors, bows and hardware that I discovered. Now I'm trying to determine what hardware goes with what tops/doors. Please HELP!!! Any info you can share that would help ID this stuff would be greatly appreciated.

    If you're interested, you can see the thread related to the soft tops here: http://www.earlycj5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=76911

    And the read with ads/instructions/literature about them here: http://www.earlycj5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=76962

    Also, everything pictured below was packaged together....they aren't just random pieces thrown together and photographed....

    Thanks in advance! :beer:

    This is clearly a kit for Bestop soft doors (as shown by the instructions that were included (shown):

    I think I can make out "Luxair" printed on the bag of this one:

    So what do you guys think? If you can help me determine what models these go to, it would be very much appreciated.

    I'll have more to post pics of later.....

    jpflat2a what's that noise?

    this goes with the Kayline F5 Luxair top.
    door handles, rear bow pockets, door channels (wrapped), upper door hinges etc.

    the straps could go to any of the tops; they hold the windows up when you roll up the side/rear windows.

    these most likley are Kayline (guess)
    the aluminum windshield channels go atop the windshield frame; it would take 2 of them for 1 vehicle; they are split for ease of shipping.
    the white vinyl sleeves slip over the front and rear bows of convertable tops, not the Luxair model. The bows of the convertable tops are angled when installed and can rub he glass; the sleeves prevent rubbing damage to the windows while driving down the road (in theory).

    The 4 aluminum channel pieces and the 4 bow sleeves were all wrapped together in the paper. Why would there be 4 of channel pieces included? If I'm hearing you correctly, 2 pieces would span the width of the windshield frame. What are the other 2 for?
