Oh, I see. There is a big difference between Cabrio and Phaeton.
My mistake, sorry. <!-- s:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" title="Embarassed" /><!-- s:oops: -->

So, may be phaeton bars?
Do the folding bars cross reference to any other car tops?
What does the acorn bolt do?

I just noticed that you are also missing the bolt with chrome acorn nut that goes in the linkage hole in your picture. You can see it in my picture. It's near the bottom of the side window.

Dont be misleaded. Its all there. It looks different because the rear bow is down.

Looks like you are also missing the folding Landau Bars for your Convertible Sedan

This is what you are looking for without soft top. If needed I could make a sketch.

You may need to borrow a pair and have them fabricated.

Any idea where I could find the landau bars?

I agree, the landau bars take the place of the round rod and fold. Dave

Don't think what we have is correct. Top is in up position, and hasn't been down in long, long time, if ever.
I've seen a few photos of others, and this doesn't match.. has a round rod from behind door window going to "shelf". There is no pivot between that rod and the rear main piece (which matches other cars).

Does anyone have photos or better yet, a drawing/diagram of what the "correct" top mechanism is?
