Sure thing!!
The top comes with a 14 page installation manual, side and rear windows and parts.
First impressions:
The roof is much lighter and firmer than I expected (without the windows).
There are minor grooves and chips here and there, but hey, I did not expect German built quality. The roof (most probably) needs to be trimmed alongside the little removable side covers on our cars. A dremel or Nakai-san should be your friend there
Recommendation was: take your time, let the roof sit on your car for a couple of days (btw...optimal conditions are pointing more towards the end of spring with ~20-25°C...lol...I have no heater in my garage, so barely above freezing temperature in there atm...lol), then re-adjust and ALWAYS make sure, that the windshield-roof alignment is perfect throughout the whole adjustment process...so much for the very welcome tips of the seller.
After the step-by-step adjustments are done, grooves/chips/and maybe holes ('cuz you cut away too much) are filled...then sanding, primer and the whole shebang...after that windows, seals, rubber, light and the other shebang
...to be continued
