Default HELP! 94 convertible softop installation

Hi gang,
Long time no talk. I have a 1994 convertible softtop I am ready to install a top and a new headliner, I guess I should have no problem changing both, (remove old replace with new) Just wondering if anyone has any downloadable instructions, or any tips
Thanks, Dan

I have copies from a Vette magazine article. Huge file and kinda grainy though. PM me with your E-mail address and I will shoot your way.

Just make sure you lay it over the old one first and mark the center.

If someone else has a copy of this video I would like one also. I need to replace my top because the back window is toast. I would like to try to caputre the video to computer and put it on CD .

For my 2 cents worth, check around - it may be worth it to let a pro do it. I ended up having a new one installed last fall, after talking to some poeple and check around, and I consider myself pretty handy with tools. I found drastic differences in cost, for instance. I ended up buying a top from midamerica, and had a local installer do the work. It took them the majority of two days with all the tools and knowledge. The total cost, top and installation, around $750, and a six pack.

There's no way I'd pay anyone to do my top installation on a C4. These tops are fairly easy to install.
