71-76 Eldorado convertible scissor top recover and repair

Great!
How is the gutter wire attached to body in the middle part of the wire? Or is the wire just keeping the gutter in correct shape and preventing water flowing to trunk?

The gutter wire snaps into retainers that are located on the underside of the rear cowl. Here is what the clips look like. They are stamped into the sheet metal of the underside of the rear cowl. This one is located toward the quarter panel on the passenger side.

It's really not that bad. It's time consuming and has many steps but if you just take it easy and do everything in order, the new top will go on just fine. In my opinion, the biggest issue is that virtually any top that needs to be replaced will also need wear parts replaced in the frame. If you skip that, it will never work correctly and look good.
