I just smashed my hardtop on my 86 4runner and had an extra hardtop mounting flange I saved from a previous smashed hardtop. I also have a kayline soft top that I am in the process of putting on, but the cab brackets are kinda screwed up. Has anyone ever used the 4runner hard top cab mounting flange as the bracket on the cab for their soft top?

I'm thinking about putting the snaps in the fiberglass flange, but it's really tight when I pull the soft top over the flange. How much can you stretch these kayline toppers without ripping the seams?
Here's the damage to the hardtop
And what it goes on.
