To all canvas cab top connoisseur's, here is today's question:While installing my M37 soft top, for the first time, I notice the provision of strap loops in both the rear tubular piece which supoorts the rear of the top, and also loops on top of the windshield frame...But someone ( it must have been done in NATO) welded a cover piece over the windshield loops, and now I can't install the straps ! What in God's name did they do that for? Shall I break out my grinder? Erect an effigy doll of Mr. Ben Laden to shoot at ?

Mine has one of the front loops. Some idjit cut a "slot" in the top of the windshield frame to accommodate an electric wiper motor on the driver's side. Of course, the strap loop went with it. :(

Well now that I have grinded the weld tabs off, and destroyed one of them doing it, I shall : take down the Ben Laden poster form the firing range, order a replpacement "windshield top loop strap receptor"; I'm sure John Midwest's Machine Shop and otherwise impossible things to get service will have them ? !
