Convertible top replacement
A friend has a 2000 vert and is replacing the top. The new top material came without any instruction. Does anyone know where I can find him some instruction.

My son and I replaced the convertible top on his Chrysler LeBaron. LOTS of trial and error time was spent, before we finally got it right.
The instructions that came with the new top were pretty much worthless.
I will say, however, that it looked quite nice when we finished the job.

Best to have service manual which gives step by step instructions/illustrations to replace the fabric.
You'll need a stapler that shoots #7 staples 5/32 length.
Got mine from the auction site,it's an EZE TC-08 staple gun,about $70.
Here are some DIY instructions but images are missing
