Default Hardtop installation

So I ordered a new hardtop from hardtopguy. It should be in early next week and I am excited as all hell. I have read the installation instructions a few times, and it looks pretty straight forward except for the alignment part, but I am sure it will be easier once I get the top on there.

Has anyone else put their own hardtop in and have any tips or experiences they would like to share? thanks

Read the directions all of the way through before you start and have a buddy help.

+1 on the extra set of hands. The hardtop is only 45lbs but very bulky to handle and impossible for just one person

Cool. Thanks.

Has anyone had a hard time getting it lined up, or has it pretty much been first shot?

Mine lined up from the start. Another than I helped with needed alignment. Alignment isn't that hard if you follow the directions.
