Default 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.

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.

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!

creekrat that would be cool. if you can find all the pucs and info that you have you can e-mail me at blove22@bellsouth.net . the thing is my neighbor put one on his and we are probably going to try to tackle it together. my back window is the plexi type so it shouldnt be to bad. thanks for all the info and if anyone else has an opinion or info please chime in.

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!
