If this is the first time putting the top on in that long - I would personally do the following:
- check body mounts / bolts - replacing if they are crusty/gone
- consider replacing top/door seals with new press on ones to assure you are lining up with stable seals

Yes, the body mounts were pretty much shot.., especially the ones towards the back.
I ordered new ones from GMC Pauls and replaced them today. Everything went ok, except for position #2 (right behind the seats). There is a gap between the bottom of the body and the upper cushion, probably about 1/4".
When I removed the factory mounts, there weren't any shims at position #2. The only shims I found were at position #1, and there were two on each side.
Any thoughts? Thanks for the input so far.
