Ernan, do you directions or something detailing how to replace it? I've heard it a pretty rough job.

Good luck and post your results....

Just take your time and if you have a camera take pics while taking the old top off that way you can look at them as a reference when u go to put the new one on. And it's all about finally adjustments....you might have to go back and unstaple and restaple the top, but if you do it right u can get all the lines out. Good luck.

I did mine couple months ago. It wasn't hard but it was time consuming. I had a broken hydraulic cylinder on one side and numerous other little problems that I found. There can be some sewing involved. But overall, if everything goes smoothly it shouldn't be too bad at all. Just make sure you fix all the little stuff that might be broken.(the staple tacking strip breaks apart often). Also when you get to putting it back together, I'd switch those black plastic nuts from the inside around the rear section to standard metal nuts/washers. Much easier to get on/off and not strip.
