While you're in there, make sure the foam trays aren't ripped and that the drain tubes are clear.

Thank you for the part numbers! Big help.

I have a 2000S and a 1998 that I'm pondering top work.

Yeah, make sure you get the exterior grade tape. The 3M stuff is pretty good.

Turning out to be a nice tips and tricks thread for top replacement. It's really not that hard to do, especially with the inexpensive new parts. A very satisfying DIY!

I ordered these parts today. $17.02 for the slides, $12.16 for the clamping pieces, and $2.47 for the pins. Came to $63.30 for all of it. Of course, none of it was in stock, so gotta wait for it all to come in.

Just for clarification for anyone else going in to order these pieces, right slide above should acutally read 986.561.670.03. Just a typo. Also, these pieces are for the 97-02 model. The 03 and up (but don't know up to what year) would require different clamping pieces: 986.561.559.02 and 986.561.560.02.

I'll try to pick these up tomorrow from an Autozone or Napa or whatever. Should only need one package of each?

Thanks everyone, especially Mark_T for the part numbers, for gathering all this info in this thread! Really helps.
