You will need to remove the rear seat backrest (2 bolts), the bottom seat cushion (held in by two clips at the front), the back quarter trim, door sill trim, etc. just to get access to the top. The top has many staples, two cables, the rear brackets that hold the top to the body.. blah blah blah. Its not as simple as my Jeep top which took undoing some velcro and a few torx bolts to take it off.
Read the instructions if you havent already as it explains what you will need to do.

Not many have done an entire top assembly swap. Its do-able, but if you are going to spend more than $100 on that assembly I wouldnt do it. A new top is only $160 and its NEW vs. a used one. If you are dead set on doing this then just buy the top assembly and make an attempt to figure it out.
ok caldwell, i guess if somebody puts that on my ass... i mean sig, i wouldn't complain.
chrismillion: there are a few problems I see wtih this installation. I would think that you should pull out the rear panels and see if you can see or get to the top assembly. After that you need to be able to detatch the cable that runs through the top, and that can be a bitch (you may be able to clip it and just add a little later or something). Next would be the rear of the top, this would be the hardest part, and is I believe one of the hardest parts in the top install. If you look at that manual, I would see if there is some easy way to remove the rear glass and connected materials, because I think if you have to do all that to get a USED top, it's not worth it.
if you need that guide or any more information, let me know.

my buddy did this on his 95 mustang, He took an entire top assembly from an 01 mustang. Well 7 months later I buy the car, during the time he never attempted to hook up the pump. Ok so I get to hooking up the pump and refill I get the top to work but it seems as the glass wont tuck in to continue folding all the way down. The top gets to the pot to where its pointing straight up and the glass is holding it from going down.. But to answer your question it was done, a top from an 01 to a 95 and this was the entire assembly .
