--The last time I did this, it took 2 people. As I remember, I put in the
top bolts about 1/2 way in. So far, so good! Then I sat and pondered the
situation w/ a couple of cold beers. Finally, I got up enough nerve to pull
down on the middle of the top of the frame assembly. Let me try that again.
While you are standing on the seats, grab the top of the frame on either side of
the rear view mirror. Pull in and down (lots!) while a very understanding wife
puts the bottom bolts in.
Some folks don't worry about the frame to body seal until the bolts are in.
Some roll it out almost like it should be and duct tape it to the windshield. I
prefer the latter method.
The tip for the day: When you get to the tool throwing stage, go watch TV
or something. Try again tomorrow.
