Best watch a few and do a few before trying yourself. My best friend owned an auto interior shop and I watched tops being done. They are not easy and when I tried to assist I needed to do everything twice, (once the wrong way, then once again the right way).
If done wrong, the top won't close, will open and rip, will leak like a sive, or will pull the rear window out. There are multiple adjustment screws and all need to be set correctly. In auto shops, guys with IQ's of monkeys do these properly time and time again, showing that this stuff is not hard, just requires a steep learning curve. You need to learn how to do this stuff before attempting it for the first time, unlike many other things, because tops are more of an art form rather than cut and dried stuff such as rebuilding turbos or swapping engine blocks.
Good luck!
