You would think that this day in age someone would have invented a hand stitcher that would sew these from one side of the soft top but apparently not. You can do this alone but it would take a very long time and that is with softtop/frame off the car. With 2 people it goes rather fast. The awl stitcher tool is the easiest to use and saves your fingers as well from punctures. Hand sewing a needle thru 40 mil plastic and canvas can be very labor intensive. The awl on eBay goes for about 10 dollars or less all day. The pin/clutches about $6 for 20 count, basting tape for another $9, and the new Plastic window about $30.
