I bought a top from that vendor

drove out to his location and saved the shipping. The top is a Robbins top with the wiring harness for defroster, no big deal to hook up. Did the install myself, about 1hr to remove old top and about 5hrs to reinstall the new top. Now that I'm used to the smaller window the large plastic one looks "Very Big". There is a writeup somewhere online for top install and the top comes with sufficient instructions for handy persons.

Is there any way you can scan the directions that came with the top? I emailed Robbins, but they never responded. The DIY on Mike Focke's page was one that I got from a gentleman on Pelican Parts, IIRC. It's good, but I'd like to see the Robbin's directions. I MIGHT be trying to install one of these tops on my car in a couple months.

Send a message via AIM to djomlas
on a scale 1-10, what would you rate installing thi top youself, since you said you did it in 5hrs.
is it hard to do, or jsut time consuming to take 5 hrs?

Hey Peter,

I have a targa top that I may want to replace the outer vinyl on at the end of the summer, do you do this?
Did you ever work in Morristown behind High marques?
