Abstract: A flush fit removable backlight assembly for a convertible top. The assembly includes an outer frame member having a substantially flat lower body portion and a generally T-shaped upper body portion. The assembly also includes an inner clamping member having a substantially flat lower clamping portion and a generally C-shaped upper clamping portion. To assemble the removable backlight assembly, the opening of the convertible top is attached to the outer frame member. The backlight is then positioned against the lower body portion of the outer frame member. Then, the upper clamping portion of the inner clamping member interlocks or interengages with the upper body portion of the outer frame member so that the lower clamping portion of the inner clamping member engages the opposite side of the backlight.
