GOOD LUCK with the install!

Thanks! you know whats ironic... you and I were talking about the infamous tear our tops get next to the rear window at the SFZCC picnic a month ago... And I was saying not to worry about it until it actually happens because who knows if we will still have the ZR when it happens.. then it started to rain so I put my top up and speak of the devil.... there it was... that damn tear next to the rear glass!!! It happened right then.. because I washed the car the day before and it wasn't there.... oh well.. it helped out the ZR community!

I skimmed it and it looks good. But is there any way to get rid of the watermark text? It's extremely annoying and makes it hard to me to focus and read.

Very nice work! Holy crap that looks like it was a huge job. I have a complete spare top w/frame, motors and a rip. I might have to give it a try someday. i wonder if I could do it off the car.

Look forward to the re-up... i'd like a copy. I can host it on my webserver if you'd like. Although this is probably something you could put up on a publc downloader site like megaupload or something.
