I Just installed a 1997 top with glass from EZ ON auto tops from ebay, nice product, with no mods, cutting, sewing and so on, just ready to install, the top was Blue Haartz German A5, the sound is a little different from original fabric OEM, maybe a tad noisier. .
Thanks to mikefocke DIY install tips on net, i did the job myself, just read the instruction manual 100 times...
and several other installing manuals...
removal was the easy part, installing the top was not that easy.... but managed to complete after 12 hours work.....huh...and have a assistent help for some installing.
I think i manage to it faster next time if i ever installing next time..
Take your time, don't rush, have a printed manual or laptop beside you. Just be careful not to break original loose parts that can be used again to your new top.
I'm very pleased with the result, the top is tight and have a perfect fit.
small tip: cover the drain hole with some tape, if you loose some small parts under installation.
