If you can post a pic it would definitely help.

When it comes to poking holes, use your best judgement as to if it will be exposed to water or not.

 

OKy. Hole poked. Screw in. Now I can't get that bottom trim metal piece that the christmas tree in the rubber trim goes through to line up for the life of me. After 5h of this, and only getting one screw in, i'm getting ANGRY. This can't be healthy.

 

Take a coke break and chill for a sec or two, then go back to it. You might have to expand the hole that the "christmas tree" as you call it goes into.

Oh, and as a pre-advisement, when you close the top for the first time, it will fall about 6-10 inches short b/c it's new. You'll have to run the heat for a while to get it loosened up and possibly need a buddy to help you push the roof down at the front. Don't open it for a few days after that to help it settle in place.

This was a great write up. I used this after getting my top from Cyclone and it took me about 12 hours on total spread over two days. The instructions were a huge help considering what was provided by Robbins was a few pages long.

 

I had a question I am doing this right now to my top and the only instructions I got from robbins is the frame prep. instructions. Am I suppose to get something else because it says on the end install the rest as you would install an 02 and up s2k top. I was wondering because I am almost finished and I have to fit the two top corners towards the front by the latches. They are not fitted so I can just slip the frame corner onto the cloth. What am I suppose to do to this am I suppose to stich it or something? Or I saw the original top that it kinda looks like the melted part of the top to adhere togther, is this right? How did everyone do theirs?

 

The tops do not come with install instructions. For the robbins top, they do not have the little fitted pockets for the front of the frame like the OEM top does. Instead, just fold the front edge of the Robbins top over the front of the frame and attach the metal bracket that goes the length of the front. That should secure it enough to hold.

 

for anyone who has had a Robbins top installed:

have you noticed having MAD wind noise at about 80+ mph with the top up?

it's been over a year since I've had the new top installed, and it's great otherwise, but my brother's s2k with the original plastic window top isn't as loud

 

amazing write up

 

that was a great writ up outstanding job man

 

Have your tried tightening up the latches or perhaps your strikers might be worn out. That's a common problem.

On my hardtop, I had excessive wind noise over 100mph but it was just a latch adjustment problem.
