Stephen,

You never specified what kind of soft top you were using. There is an early version, a late version and a couple different repros. All my dimensional replies will be based on late version stock tops. I'll give you a heads up here regarding window adjustments. You might find it necessary to start straightening the front pillar to facilitate window adjusting without binding. Advise you to not raise window all the way unless you're ready for a lot of work.

(1) Distance from back of door window to soft top frame = 1/2"

(2) Distance from back of #1
bow to center of #2 bow = 18 1/2" to 18 3/4"

(3) Distance from center of #2 bow to center of #3 bow = 18 1/2" to 19".

The dimensional variations are the result of measuring two different cars with both using late style production tops. I know little if anything, about earlier tops or repro tops.

Tom D.
