Default Time it takes to replace soft top

I did a search but could not find the anwser to how long it takes to replace the soft top only not the frame. I am looking for what Honda claims the book time is and what it actually takes someone to do it. Thanks!

It took Jeff and Joe (the Ganley Honda guys) almost 12 hours to do mine...

ok thanks for the fast reply! I too will probably go out there since he did a great job on the hardtop install.

Basically you start by taking the seats out and every piece of interior from the door sills back including the entire roll bars. Then you are ready to remove the parts that secure the top.

I don'r plan on doing this myself because Jeff "hardtopguy" says that Honda Care will cover this replacement. I was just looking for how much time I should allow and how many days I need to stay there since I live in IL.

It's definately worth driving to Ganley to get them to do it. Mine was the first one they'd ever done, and it's perfect.
