Lol...

I love the vibe on this forum, thanks Kram36. It's schedule to arrive on Wednesday, I got and email with tracking number. I was wondering should I begin to remove the old top now so that when it arrives I will be half way done? Or should I just wait and do it all over the weekend?

When I did my top I took off the old top the night before just so the next day was easy. All about how much time you want to spend doing it in one day. I have new pins and sliders if you haven't ordered them yet. I didn't even open the box.

This may seem like an odd question, but is there an easy way to tell what color my top is? It appears to be indigo, but often looks black.

From experience with other somewhat complicated projects on cars, removing the old top and replacing it right away may be better on the memory of the steps you took to remove it and what you did with all the bits and pieces that are re-used.

Just a thought!

Yep, keep the top up for at least a month. Parking it out in the sun will help stretch it. I use the 303 protectant for my ATD Top. There is a rubber membrane beneath the canvas so it is still waterproof even if it soaking into the canvas. The 303 keeps it newer looking and I would imagine what you have will do much the same thing. Glad that it came out well
