Ok, so when I bought my vert, it was already stripped mostly, and somewhere between my house and the guys house that sold it to me all the front windshield trimming, and top hold down stuff dissapeared. So right now the whole window area is down to bare metal like thisI bought the "parts" off of a member on here, and I was wondering if someone could tell me if

1. I have everything that I need

2. a "how to" install it guide (Cause I've never seen it together before)

3. what does the part look like that holds the top down cause I think its missing, pics, pics, pics, please!

I looked at the sticky where they have the vert drawings but it looks a little confusing(I hope I'm not breaking any copyright laws, this is just for reference)

So this is the stuff I got, some of it is broken and ripped but its what I have for now untill I can find some in better shape

So can anyone help??? some pics would be awsomeThanks guys

The part that holds the top down is actually already on your car. They are the two little black notchy things on either side of the windshield frame. The top frame hooks into those spots when the top is up.

Yes, it looks like you got everything except one missing receiver cover.

It's easy. You can figure out if you play with all those parts. It's just a matter of which one goes first and which one goes next. You'll need some sillicone.

This latch goes into a hole under circled part. Like Ish said, everything's already on the car.

Unfortunately, most parts are not available from Nissan dealership. Besides, new parts are VERY expensive. You are better off if you can find a junk vert and get the parts from there.
