Default power top install: possible?

I just bought an 05 vert and saved thousands on it with next to zero miles on it. It was exactly what I wanted but without the power top. Could you guys chime in please and let me know what all it would take to put the power top in, if its possible. Thanks a million, Josh

I really don't think it's worth it. You need hydraulic pumps, switches, and lots of actuators, I believe. Then again, I really don't know what I'm talking about. I do know, however, that my top failed again today, and I'd save my money next time around. My $0.02.

Save your money, you can put the down and up again in less time than it takes the power top to do just one.

Since you got a killer deal, turn around and trade it in on a 06/07 with power top!
