    Some have a latch from top to windshield. I have one metal top that probably screwed into the top of the windshield. I installed about 6 'rivnuts' or 'pop nuts' or what ever the official name is. Then I just used short stainless bolts through the top into the windshield.

    I also did the same thing around the lip of the tub, so I could secure the top using bolts, but I didn't have to fool with nuts.

    This makes it easy to remove and replace the top.

    Here is the Harbor Freight version. I've found them in many stores.
