How hard is it to install a Top??

[raxx]

I might start installing my top tomorrow.

I bought it off of ebay, from the CARTOPS guy. Came with the top and back window piece. I thought they came all together, like attached. But I was mistaken about that. I just noticed the velcro.

I have no instuction guide, and I was wondering if anyone else had a write up on how to do so. I know the installation would take up anywhere from 4-6 hours depending on what you know you are doing.

Any help or suggestion would be useful to me.

Thanks,Raxx

I got a new top in April.The guys came and did it at my work.It took two seasoned veterans 4 hours to do my top.After watching them I wouldn't even attempt it but thats just me.Just make sure you have a clear idea of what you're doing.also they used stainless steel staples and glue for some parts.Make sure you have those things if needed.

Well, Hearing from what you said. I might not do it after all. Cheapest place i found around here is 275 bucks for installation only.

I wouldn't even attempt, do you have access to the Service guide? Wow!!! I actually put my 'vert in storage until I can save to get the top installed-275? That is a great price! Every place i have checked out in RI is 500.00 installation only. I have the car, the back window, and the top sitting in a garage until i have the $$.
