There's a video on how to do this. Believe it was made by Al Knoch. They and the usual Corvette parts vendors have it. I've heard it's pretty good, and worth the price.

Have you considered paying the pros for the installation? I agree softtop installation isn't beyond the capabilities of most Corvette buffs, but you want the top to look spectacular when it up and the professionals have the expertise for that.

Finding a Pro in in the N. Central Arkansas Ozarks is next to impossible.

I used the Al Knock video as a guide for the top installation on my '69.

It was pretty straight forward and if you take your time you can do a perfect job. In fact, maybe even better than a pro.

Go for it.
