The frankenstein bolts replace the screws near the boot. The heads of these bolts sit higher then the normal screws by about a centimetre and look a bit like the bolts in frankensteins neck (hence the name
) The hardtop slides onto these bolts.

EDIT: Just found a pic I have of Matts car that shows the frankenstein bolts:

frankenstein bolts are simply a replacement for bolts on the chrome tabs near the boot
you will need side latches as well, these are inside the car and look similar to the metal catches on inside of the car that the soft-top latches onto, except they are mounted near the seatbelt towers
frankenstein bolts can easily be installed yourself, so can the side latches but it will help alot if you can find someone who has them already because it requires cutting a largish hole in the plastic trim and you wouldn't want to get it wrong
