PICS-Question. I just recvd mine and I have several problems with it.

First---- Both chrome strips along the bottom of the body on one side are loose but I think I can reglue them back on.
Second---- Is there supposed to be three VERY TINY silver dots just behind the back edge of the doors? I believe they are suppose to simulate "snaps" for a soft top? Well, whatever they are, I have 4 laying on my envelope and 2 on the car. I also found a larger one loose on the board and it looks like it came off the trunk lid on the right edge about 1/4 inch down from the upper trunk lid crease..... If these VERY TINY dots are suppose to be there, IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN. NO WAY IN HELL AM I GOING TO BE ABLE TO PUT THEM BACK ON.....
