I had never replaced a top before. I ordered a GAHH top with plastic back window. I also ordered all the small bits and pieces, cables and fittings before I got started. There is so much how to information out there you can fill an Olympic swimming pool with it. The only piece I did not order was the front seal which they wanted $1000.00... mine was good enough to use without issue. It only took an evening to do the top and the only issue is how tight the top will be when trying to close it back on the car. You will want to do this on a warm day when you can back the car out and let the sun heat it up to stretch. Hint, when it comes to doing the cable you will want to save the pieces that are OEM original to the car for when you are putting the new top on. I found the OEM replacements did not hold the cable in place and it wanted to slip out. Other than that it is not a bad job to take on following instruction.
