Well i was busy with some other things so i couldn't finish my top in short period of time (started last friday) ,but i got it done 2 days ago in Wensday
I spend some good amount of hours because i had to change rear window too ,plus i had taken out liner to clean it out and i clean every part convertible have , i repain outside trim pieces (3 of them)
Its not easy task, i spend about 2000 staples ( i wasted most of them because i had to restaple a few times to get it right
I had instructions from donjohn ,but i did little bit different way because for some reason those instructions wasn't complete (rear windows wasn't removed in those instructions)
I had to make call to top manifacture in NY and ask them a few questions

P.S. i used Heavyduty T50 staple gun , some Goop glue and some weather striping

Here is a few pics
