^ make sure the inside has been re-sealed against rain. I had mine done and the stitch holes through the plastic and canvas were not sealed in any way. On the drive home from the install I could see water droplets already starting to form in the bottom center of the plastic. Annoying because even though I had a small cut in the old plastic water wasn't coming unless it was monsoon like. The plastic itslef is a bit problematic too because since the fit was not as perfect as the factory, the plastic doesn't bend in the same way so I now have to do the chop constantly. The plastic also seems thicker which means creases take much longer to come out.

In retrospect I should have just had the whole top replaced but the canvas was in very good shape as was the plastic itself except for that hole from an incident while clearing off ice.
