Default Replacing Top

Update: I am Morrisville/Cary


I'm going to be replacing out my top soon. If nobody's interested in joining in, learning how to do it, or has any wisdom to contribute, I would greatly appreciate your help. Current plan is to do this Saturday, but I'm flexible.

I shall direct you to this flow chart:


If anyone wants to join in and replace their own top; I ordered an EZ On brand from topsonline (forum sponsor)... see this thread: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=434975 - S2ki members get free shipping. It was about $600. It takes about a week to ship.

i've done 7or8 of these things by myself and with help. it is a all day event to some degree if you know what your doing. if not, look to take longer. be sure you got everything you need before you start. i know many good short cuts on doing these! done enough of them!
