The bolts above the visor are the same thread pitch as the rear bolts, just different styles...

I've posted a picture of the rear bolts on yahoo capri group, in photos, 'hardtops' I believe.

For 15 minutes work I made my rear bolts with no waiting for the mail and for someone else to decide to send them to me.  

Of course, for the mechanically challenged, lazy, or busy folks, mail order is always there...as I suspect we will be reminded of many times in the near future...

I wish I could figure out how to remove my middle rear bolt, it won't line up properly or sit flush to allow me to put the cap over it.

All my tops are on cars right now, but one of them acts like yours, the middle bolt doesn't go down far enough...I think the threaded insert in the top has probably rotated around, leaving it too high...so when the rear bolt is installed it is too high also...next time the top is off (mine too!) look at that insert to see if you can put it down farther, back into place...share pics if you do it soon...Chris

Picked up the top and installed it. It was very easy, thanks for everyone's input.  I am missing the bolt behind the passenger seat, but I am replacing it.  

Does anyone have a rear defroster switch?

Under the trunk floor, right next to the emergency fuel cutoff switch. The relay actually bolts to the cut off switches bracket.....

Both sides are leaking at the joint of the small front window.  Any ideas on a fix or adjustments on installing?
