Has anyone here done it? Did you do it with the top still on the car? Is it doable without a sewing machine?

If you did do it yourself, would you gladly have paid $1100 to never have to do it again?

Thanks as always for any advice.
I did three tops... my experience is here:

I sold the extra top after having redone the original 2 which are on my car and my friend Tony's. Both look quite good, the window tightens up over time.

I don't think it can be done in the car, top removal is simple.
I used a needle and thread, actually 2 needles, 1 inside and 1 outside. The speedy stitcher looks like it would be much better.
