Well I did the search but couldn't find any step by step installation instruction. There are few pictures but not as many as I would like to see. So...

Why don't you contact Zeintop directly and ask them for the installation instruction?

Zeintec will send you a copy of the intructions.

I fitted mine myself and it's not majorly difficult, a 5mm allen key is about all you'll need.

If you can change brake pads you'll be fine with the top.

Got the manual from zeintec. Luckily it doesn't look so hard. The only problem is probably the wiring through the firewall since I've never fiddle with the boxs wiring. Thanks!

It's really quite easy - easy than the manual makes it look, but here's a couple of tips:-

1) The cable is a h shape - the end with the two connectors goes closest to the back of the car and the single connector end goes to the demister plug.

2) When you fit the hatch, remove the hinges from the roof (which they come attached too) and attach them to the hatch first instead - you'll find it much easier to attach it that way, rather than the other way round.
