Do a search on my user name for the last 2 months in the C4 section. I asked the same thing and got some good responses along with a link to buy a video that shows exactly how to do it. The general consensus is if you buy the video and watch it and then do it like it says you should be able to do it yourself in a day.

As mentioned in the previous posting, if you wish to send me yr address and i will send you a copy of a video that shows the process of removing and installing a soft top. I was provided the video from a fellow CF member, so it is making the rounds! I am in the middle of this process, and it isnt too bad, esp. if you dont have to drill out alll the frozen bolts like I have to do...
