Holy crap....50 bucks for 6 nuts!
I went to the dealer parts dept to buy 6 floating nutz for my hardtop. I purchased a hardtop a few weeks ago but could not get the nuts, just the screws. The dealer wanted 8.50 for each one...that added up to over 50 bucks....holy cow? I am using 5/116 bolts with std nutz and washers right now for free, and they seem to work fine for now. I thionk I will make up some nut plates and double sticky them in place. Should cost about 5 bucks when I'm done.

Thats nuts
Just make sure you use washers top and bottom and don’t over tighten them and you will be fine, Watch ebay I have seen lots of them being sold, there's also the quick remove kits you can get on ebay also

I see on ebay they have the quick disconnects and some nutz that come with it. They probably are using non-metric screws (american?) thus the nut replacement. I bet if I could find someone that bought this kit and get their nutz for a sweet deal? If not...I'll just get thier kit....I mean...19 bucks free shipping.....saves me time....as I would not have to make them. Anyone ?????.got NUTZ?
