After 5 years, My convertible is about get color again

Well, after a long wait, I am hopefully going to have color on my car again. I wrecked it hard in 2006, and after a few setbacks, hopefully it will see the summer sun of 2012.

Under the tornau cover tword the front you can look down and see the bolt, hard as heck to reach but you can see it. Look at where the top frame bolts to the car, look right down there and you will see it.

I think you can get it from the vent in the door.
