Hi All,
I recently purchased an 1953 M37 CDN and it came with the hardtop. I'd like to install a soft top for the summer and need all the parts to make it work. Other then the cab top hardware kit (that includes the top bow extensions, support rails, cab top rails and u bolts), the canvas top itself and rope hooks what else is needed? How does the top connect to the windshield frame?

You need a windshield top front retaining channel.

There should be a channel on the top of the windshield frame, the leading edge of the canvas top slides into.

Give John Bizal a call @ https://midwestmilitary.com/ for the parts that you are looking for. Great guy to work with.

Regards,
Bert

Do you know if the hardtop still fits with this piece attached to the windshield frame?

Most all hardtops do not fit with the channel loop in place. I also have a spare set of the soft top horizontal pieces 2 each that sit up top. PM me if interested.
Thanks,
Gary

BugsandJeeps, if happen to reach out to VPW about the retainer I would like to know what they tell you at the time of shipping.
