One of the challenging parts of the job is keeping the new materials in place while you try to stitch. You'll see in one of my pics I used binder clips. I removed the entire top from the car, frame and all, and sewed in the new vinyl in my living room.

The most tedious and time consuming part of the job was the actual stitching: Crawl under, poke needle and thread through to outside of top, crawl out, pull needle and thread through, poke needle and tread beck through to inside of top, crawl back under and repeat several hundred more times... cried my back and fingers "..never more, never more!"
