Last night I got the top installed and test fit on my wife's convertible. My kit included 1 antenna relocation bracket, but no instructions on where to put it, and the bracket isn't very intuitive to where it goes. Thanks to @CJJon who gave pretty detailed instructions on relocating the drivers side I was able to get by with just the one bracket on passenger side. I did speak with Clinched this AM, because I could not figure out where to use included bracket and they have not updated their instructions as of yet, and they offered to send me a second one, but I am not ripping the panels off again to move the drivers side.
Their bracket mounts to their main bracket and is universal, and can be used on either side of the car.
You will need a flat head bolt/screw to mount the antenna, as the factory mount the stud does not come out (at least mine would not). Theirs does incorporate the horn front from the antenna and aligns correctly to the hold in it, there just isn't much room behind the hole as it sits almost flush with their bracket, as shown in the picture below.
Another challenge I found, on the top trim panels there are 2, what appear to be sensors for something, I was able to unclip them from the panel and tuck them back into the seat along their wiring harness.
Overall it was a pretty easy install, the parts fit very well, and now I need to get them painted. The main cowl will be done in Carbonized Gray to match the spoiler and mirrors, and the 2 back panels will be painted body color to match.
