If I remember right the fiberglass 1/2 top has a metal bulkhead that bolts in and the glass top remains removeable so you can go topless when you want. Is that how yours is?

I used to carry it in the bed but mainly just watch the weather. Luckily I've only been caught 4 or 5 times in a hard rain.. NO FUN, the faster I go the more it soaks the back of my head & the inside of the windshield. Not like a regular convertible. It sucks the spray from behind the truck. I don't have a divider behind the seats & didn't get one when I bought the used fiberglass half top. I don't think the hard bed cover would close over the half top if it was in the bed. The 'glass top weighs 75lbs. or so.
