I get so many PM's on how it’s done. It’s not something simple like many seem to think... It’s a job that takes hands on experience. If you’re will to tackle the job here are a few pics to help. I didn’t take as many as I should have so if you guys have questions Ill do my best to answer them.

After the original top has been removed I repaired the damaged pading. I use a 36grit sanding disk (by hand) to scuff and shape the new fome pad.
The car is them masked and glue is then sprayed using a gun and compressor.
The top is glued and then the top pad were the top is to be installed. (both surfaces)
The tape is then removed. Starting from the center of the "horse shoe seam" around the back window.

Here are the basic tools needed.
