Read Mike Focke's instructions on doing this job. When I did mine I printed out a few different how-to's. and his was by far the most helpful.
Make sure you have the shop supply on hand before you start - two-sided tape, contact cement, etc. Order a couple of spare sliders as the fingers often break during disassembly, along with some of the 2-piece plastic rivets that secure them. Photograph the hell out of that assembly before you take it apart
Inspect your mechanism carefully while you have it apart, especially the plastic socket heads on the pushrods. Porsche doesn't sell the plastic sockets separate from the pushrods, but I can give you a source for them if needed.
I had to drive around with no canvas on the top for two weeks because I got the old one off and then found I needed more parts.
Go slow, take lots of pics during disassembly, and have a buddy to help you with the parts of the job needing three or more hands. It's not an easy job, but definitely do-able.
