Default Re: Soft top instructions. (fnseeker)

Ive done two tops and was pleased with both results. I didnt have a video but i can tell you some tips.... First i would get a cloth top not vynil. Mine is vynil and if i did it again it would be cloth (it just looks nicer). You will need all new weatherstripping and you need to clean the frame REAL good and scuff it before you glue in the new stuff. Its pretty straightforward, just notice how the old one comes off. It heps to tie the front locator pins to your cieling with string to hold your top halfway up. This is like a second pair of hands. Just take your time, use good adheasives, prep the frame, and step back and see how perfect its lining up as you go. :smash:
