You really should install the new deck lid and mock up the dutchman before you go much further. At least that's the way that I do it. Otherwise, you have nothing to go by on making the lower cut on the plug. Have them place the plug approximately two inches from the top of the original back glass opening and adjust it up and down until the transition from the roof to the vega plug feels and looks right.
Looks like a great project. I have two more of them to do this year myself, possibly three.
Keep the pics coming.

We started from the back and worked our way forward. This is the dutchman panel that Howie found. It really wasn't big enough but it's all that we had to work with. I didn't begin installing the vega plug until after this step. I'm sure it's not the only way to do it though. It just worked for me.
