Just have a few wrinkles to iron out

I bought my top on eBay from Diamond Mall. Apparently the DM tops are actually made by Germanex. They had three qualities - Vinyl, Stayfast and Original German (Sonnenland). I bought the latter - $315.00. Also bought a set of Uro seals from FCP Groton for $66.00. Otherwise one can of spray adhesive and one tube of trim adhesive.

I must say the top was very well made and needed minimal trimming during install.

The instructions (same as ones from World Upholstery) and even the ones in the shop manual leave something to be desired and in fact conflict in places.

But this is job that a DIYer can do. The pictures that Nobby and Roncallo posted in another forum certainly helped. I took a million photos, so will probably post them on my own website sooner or later.
