It will probably be boring, but anyone is welcome to stop by and watch me screw up the installation. Just PM for directions. Im going to be installing on the 21'st.

FYI: I just had by top replaced at the dealer to the tune of $4100 (insurance paid). Maybe that will make the GAHH top sound better.

I guess that depends on when we start drinking beer and making fun of your top installation skills, right?

Right... that is, of course, if you bring some beer

Hey guys if your planning on a DIY installation of the top why not have one of the "observers" document the procedure w/ a dig. camera? I'd would be willing to pay a reasonable amount of money for a photocopied version of the install. I feel very confident that I could do the install myself, but like to know the ins-and-outs before starting. Also it seems w/ things such as this that you always end up needing extra fasteners, clips, and who knows what else. It would be nice to have a list of things that need to be replaced before working on this. Anyways I wish I were closer to the Houston area. I would love to spend some time w/ some guys that arent afraid to get there hands dirty to save a few $$$. Ya'll have fun and keep us posted on the effort.

I just want the photos of the guys drinking beer laughing at the guy doing the install. Will pay big $$$ for those.

:dance:

On the serious side, good luck with the install.
