convertable top

just got my new top in and was wondering if any of you have tried to install it yourself? if so do you have any tips and a good write up would be good as well.

RE: convertable top

Eh... I tried to replace the back window in mine and ended up screwing up alot. Best bet is to have a professional do it. You can cause serious damage if you do it yourself and have no one to sue for the mess up. This is a "worth it" trip to the body shop.

However, if you are destined to give it a shot.Go toyour local Barnes and Noble or other book store,hit up the automotive section, find a "restoring your old car" book andread up on how to do it.

You could try it. But somethings are worth the money, like paying a pro to install your top.

RE: convertable top

I installed my top a few months back. It was not too hard, but there was absolutly no good tech info on the install that I could find. I took a ton of pics and started to do a write up on it but got sidetracked when I split with the old lady and hooked up with this smokin hot girl. I can send you pics if you are interested and what info I have already typed up if it will help. I guess I need to finish up the write up, Pro probably things I was BS'n him, for a sticky. Any questions you have feel free to ask here, or pm me!

RE: convertable top

I'll send you what I got as far as top info and pics. Like I said pretty easy if you are mechanically inclined.

I'll post some pics of the girl too.... as soon as I get some with her clothes on! HA!
