I tried to scan the shop manual section but it is not legible to see. You need the "body" shop manual book section 41-20...there is five pages with diagrams of everything. Maybe someone has a better scanner or knows how to enlarge.

From the pics you posted

That is a fixed rear reat

To installed a fold down you will need to cut the fixed bracketry out and weld in the fold down brackets, support panels ans misc parts.

When you swap to a fold down you are removing and reinstalling stuctural parts of the uni-body.

It is not a bolt in job

Look up marks73 posts - he did the conversion

Hi There,

your sail panels seems to sit nicely on the sides .... how did you do that ?

I got my car dismantled and I am now finishing it.

The sail panels seems originally to have loose vinyl on the top part as if it would be "pushed" somewhere under something....

I would appreciate your comment.

Thanks

 
Sail panels extra material gets glued on edge of the rear window opening

If your window is in the car you can work it under the rubber seal
