has anyone installed a new convertible top
Im in the process of doing it by myself, but I am stuck at one part. theres 3 pieces of trim that connect the rear of the top to the car. I unbolted the bolts in the trunk that hold the middle piece in, but the side ones dont seem to have any acess points. I have a feeling I have to take apart my backseat/speakers/floorpanels again. Is this true?

dangit i wish i had that earlier. Im almost done.
but yes, as i found out you have to remove the backseat assembly to get the trim off, so you can get the top off. the trim covers 8 little sheetmetal clips that keep some flaps in place. (4 on each side) its also handy because its easier to get to the rear spring connection points. if anyone needs help, just PM me, and I'll do what I can.
