There is the locking mechanism for the bottom or rear roof panel and the separate mechanism for the top or forward roof panel..... I can't see if you have the latter in your pictures.


I find that the viewport lids bang when ever i hit a bump hard enough. the locks just rest in place and don't apply any camming to hold them in place and often i find they bounce out of the locked position when i get to my destination.
Can't help on the ignition as the motor I'm using is a later top mount distributor, 12 volts, petronix.
