Hi. I've done this job twice. My first suggestion is to call Brit-Tek and
ask for a pamphlet they drew up specifically for do-it-yourself top
installation. They charged my about $5.00 for it if I recall. It was well
worth the price. It provides a step-by-step procedure that's very helpful.
The second time for me was easier too since I had done it once before, but
I still followed the pamphlet to get it done successfully.
Brit-Tek in New Hampshire: 1-800-255-5883.
