convertible question

Personally, I think you'll be better just buying a replacement top. There's a lot of staples and such which need to be pulled, and the chance for damage is high. When you remove your old top you can cut it off to alleviate some of the hastle. I think that the money you may save wouldn't make up for the hastle and extra time you'd spend doing it. That is, of course, you can get the top from the spare car for $50, or something.
