Default C4 Convertible top installation

Looking for detailed instructions on the installation of a new rag top on my 89 C4...who's been through it and come out unrinkled & unphased?

I put a new top on my '91 vert..it was simple, and very easy. I purchased a video from the place I bought the top...I will try to find the video online someplace and let you know...it was excellent! I would start the video, go out into the garage, perform that task, come back in, watch the next step, etc. In two hours, I had the new top on, and it fit great!

If you do find a source for video please post it. I found a source once before but the compnay had gone out of business. The video will be very useful.

Thanks, but I've been unable to reach Johns Corvette at the numbers posted...maybe out of buisness. I would like to purchase a copy of the installation tape. You can reach me at 1-800-447-8020 thanks.
