Default Hardtop install help needed

I'm installing a hardtop on a "96 2dr Tracker. Would someone with a "Fleet Air" 2 piece hardtop post pictures of how the rear part is fastened to the body?
I also need fasteners for the back piece if you have extras.
Seals? Do I need seals other than what might be there for the soft top?
Any tips I need to know and/or questions I didn't ask?
Thanks for your help. . . .anxious to get this top on.

Hey, here's a couple pics of the rear mounts on mine.
The bolt is integrated into the top itself & uses a 'knobbed' nut through brackets mounted to the edge of the body & a plastic washer. I've never had it off, & don't really intend to, but it looks like you just spread the top a bit to clear the bolts & then it lifts off.
The seal looks like a pretty common crimp mount type, it clips over the lip of the tub & has a tube-like strip on the side. I've seen similar seals/weatherstrip in Napa catalogs, so it should be easy enough to get.
Also, there's a phone number for FleetAir on a sticker on mine... I've yet to call & see if it's still a current #, or if parts are available, but here it is anyhow: 423-569-6965

Default Thanks Fuzzy1 ! You're the man

Thanks for the pix. They were plenty good enough for me to see what I am looking for. I'll try the phone number tomorrow and see if it is still good and what they have available hardware wise. I'll let you know how it works out. v9
