This is also a great time to replace the plastic rod ends if you still have the originals.

Also a great time (while top/frame is off) to remove your drive cables from the top's motor and inspect for fraying. The cables are easily removed and re installed without worry of needing to realign anything.
Sounds like you have done this before I need to find someone like you to give me a hand as I've never done anything like this and I want it to look/perform good. Also I noticed last night the new top does not have a headliner I'm hoping I can use the one off of my current top ? But now that I think about it the vinyl rear window is larger than the glass so the liner wouldn't work ? I need to get smarter on this. And yes I'll replace any items like rod ends/cables that show wear.

Hopefully you can find someone local to help, but here's the DIY if you haven't already seen it:
