GFC - Be careful when ordering your slide track. You want it to be long enough so that you can cut it to exact length needed for the finished installation. The snap strap on the slide fitting has to be snapped in place at the back end cap when the top is up, and at the front end cap when the top is stowed.

Jay - Question for you - Is your Mills Sun Top actually for a Montauk, or was it from some other model Whaler? The reason I asked is that a friend recently purchased a beautiful Montauk that included a Mills Sun Top, although installed improperly. The main leg of the Sun Top has an outward bend on each side, so the frame clears the Bow Rail, and so it can stow inside of the rails. I don't see that bend on yours.

Or maybe Mills makes two styles of Sun Tops for the Montauk. One that stows inside the rails, and one that stows outside.

On my 1979 Montauk with the complete Flying Top set, all of it stows inside the bow rail and in one consolidating boot.
