Ok so Im a bit confused. It's a aluminum frame so I cant staple as ive seen in the videos. and I cant find a video on this top.
It appears the weather stripping goes into the groove on the back below the rear window. So does the top just glue to the 1/4 inch Lip?
The old top appeared to have the stripping attached to the top itself... so I don't think the top+stripping would fit into the groove. Anyone have any videos or advice?

I'll try to find some old threads, but go to advanced search, I know a few guys did threads on this process years ago in the tech section.

Not helpful , He is just trying to sell videos.... Theirs so much free information on repairs out there I don't want to pay someone for a video and wait 2 weeks to get this job done. Thanks anyways , Has anyone done this job before personally?

Again, I have seen and commented in threads of people doing soft tops, so I would start doing some real searching. these cars are old and info is out there, it's just buried. Posting in Gen about this is as helpful as those videos, and not searching is worse.
