Looks like a very nice Job.  Well Done!

Thanks.  In reading over I realize I forgot to mention how I removed the 2x4 vertical supports.  After installing the Tiara support struts with 5200 and screws onto the fiberglass ledge on the inside of the windshield, and checking to make sure the thru-bolt holding those same supports to the windshield was secured well into the windshield, I lifted the corner of the hardtop, removed the 2x4, and lowered it onto the Tiara support strut.  It was possible to do this without any help. I did the same for the other side.  Then, I drilled and thru-bolted the struts to the hardtop using Tiara's oversized washers and sealant on the top surface.
