I think you can do it.

Id convert to glass window while I was at it.

Id also only use an OEM quality top (dont go cheap).

I bought an instructional video on it (how to replace c4 top) for $20 from ebay.

I havent done it yet. Thats next years project.

It will be a good time for me to replace my windshield header weatherstrip also.

Oh yeah, use Raggtop cleaner / protectant for your new top. Thats the best stuff out there (heck it might have been you that recommended those product to me).

Good luck.
