This can be done, but it's definitely a high-commitment, full-weekend job (at least the first time). I'm putting the finishing touches on mine, which turned out fairly well. There are a lot of subtleties that aren't even mentioned in the WU instructions. Assuming that the old top is installed well, take LOTS of pictures before removal, especially at the front and its underside and vertical parts to the rear of the front windows.
Of the many surprises I found, the top nylon straps had stretched, which I repositioned and retightened; the elastic straps that force the middle bow up when you open the top had to be replaced (I found better-than-original replacements at a fabric store).
the rear bow height needed significant adjustment.
The rear gasket is a B#$%#$%. The front gasket and sealing this area is a DOUBLE B@#$@#$, particularly if you use the aftermarket front seal.
Not mentioned either is the top "first closing". If you did the installation right, it WILL be tight - mine was so tight it took everything I had to stretch and close it. After a day and a half in the sun, it's better now. They don't call it "stretching a top" for nothing.
I would like to see a pro do this _well_ in four hours (note that the four hours don't include removing the old top and taking off most of the glue from the top and its bows, which is at least three hours to do a credible job).
I found the cause, prevention, and solution for a "screwed-up" rear lip curl-up problem which many people experience with their tops, which I will describe later.
I got the top at a distressed price from a pawn shop that found it in the trunk of a car. Unfortunately, it had developed a few wrinkles while in storage that may or may not eventually come out. But this was a top for my "driver" so hopefully I won't make the same mistakes and have the same frustrations the second time. This was a quality top and it fundamentally it fit very well; I'd hate to see a novice try to fit a bargain, 'not-quite-great-fit' top.
I did this alone, which is just as well, because it was like a Tourette's Syndrome convention all weekend.
