Also, your local installer is way cheaper than mine. Mine wanted 1500 bucks parts and labor. Ridiculous.

Good point on the eyelets, I think that is a common occurrence. I had to drill mine out slightly as well.
No quite wrinkle free. I have a few ripples on both sides right above the windows. I'll wait it out to see if they go away on their own when the top is done stretching. I can see them when walking up to the car in the sunlight. Couldn't see them last night standing right over them with a flashlight.

Mine wanted $1625 parts and labor. But if I were to bring him a top, he'd install for $500. And as I was watching him type in the numbers into his calculator, he was only charging $400 to install if I were to get the top through him. Guess he needed to pad his profit if he wasn't going to make anything off parts.
