All in all it went great. Had a couple of snags, but once things stretched out it worked quite well Top off 1.
Top On!

Just wanted to share

 

Good job. I have a new top but i'm too scared to tackle this job myself. i rather pay 600 bucks.

 

Where did you order the top from and how much did it run?

thanks

 

I ordered the Stayfast black cloth top from this page.

Shipping took about three days and the material is very nice. I also like the lack of a rubber seal around the rear window. Gives it a really clean package.

It was a pain in the *** to install, but now that I know how to do it I would probably do it again if I had to (to save $400). If you decide to undertake the project don't get mad if the top doesn't fit correctly at first. I had to open / close it a few times to get the top to stretch out to get the final bits secured.

Try your hardest to save the plastic pins from breaking on the weather stripping. (Weather stripping was strangely the hardest thing to install) It was a good time and I felt real nice about it when it was done.

 

Nice man,, glad to see you got it done. Looks good!

 

Great job - looks very nice.

Thanks for letting everybody know that it can be done!

 

Looks good. Congrats!

Have you considered using a UV protectant of some kind?

 

How long did it take to install? Just curious.

 

^^^^

 

nice job. im selling my top in the classifieds if anyone is interested.

 

Way to go! You give some us risk takers encouragement to undertake big challenges.
