Well, I replaced the top on my car and it was a success. I am about 95% happy with the results and when compared to the $700 I saved doing it myself it's well worth it. In reality I'll probably be about 99% satisfied after the coming weekend. The only thing I'm unhappy with right now is with some of the minor ripples in the front part of the top. Nothing major at all, but I think if I take the front bow apart this weekend (not fully, just the corners) I can pull the top out to the corners more and get rid of that. It was an all day and night before process. I replaced the rear window strip below the glass so I did that the night before. It took me about 45 minutes max to do that. The next day took me about 11 hours with three reasonable breaks to eat/drink, go to the bathroom, and wash up. I just put up pics tonight. I don't have the time to organize them better right now and I'd like to go back and post some pointers that would have helped me a little bit. For now they are just in a directory in chronological order.
