One of my favorite mods was putting o 204 top/frame on my 2002 (it's cold up here in MN and I like to drive top down as often as possible early Spring to late Fall).
I used the instructions linked above and did not remove the clamshell. It was much easier than expected. The tip to leave the bolts loose at first is a good one. Even though I had marked the frame location, the 2004 top fit slightly differently and needed to be adjusted so the latch would not contact the plastic windscreen. Good luck and enjoy!
