Convertible Top replacement, HELP NEEDED
I recently took the hardtop off my 1989 convertible, as i had put it on over the winter and never got around to taking it off until now, and unfortunately the plastic rear windshield didn't survive the cold, as it was its first cold winter.
The rear windshield has split straight across from side to side as well as a few vertical cracks and it totally beyond saving. I've been able to find replacement soft tops online but i haven't been able to find any videos or information about what actually goes into installing them.
If anyone has any videos or link that would be great

Are you saying you have the complete cloth and framing replacement, that's easy 4to6 bolts a trusted friend replaced in about a 1/2 hour. Just requires a little squeezing to get past bolts get it in places all latched up then snug up bolts
Cloth to reskin find a pro not really a job for most. At the dealership we had a to repair guy who would come in and reskin cut or damaged cloth tops he would spend several hours on the job
