Yep, Removal is rated a "1" and sewing the damn thing in has been like an "8" out of 10. I am going to get some double sided sticky tape to hold the window in place while I sew it in. I have found that making a couple stitches in various places around the window has helped, but the first try my window was off 1" to the left and I had to start over, thank god I only put in 4 stitches when I noticed.

I started to take the top off, but after reading up on it, it was as much as a chore as the window replace. Good news is, if anybody tries this they will have the advantage of learning from my mistakes.

Link for removing the top. It takes a few seconds to load so give it time.

Taking the canvas off is a pain yes, however removing the entire frame with the canvas still on is ridiculously easy, that is what I did.
