I'm going to install a hardtop on my 2005. I have the standard s2khardtop.pdf instructions, but they have a ton of references to the extra strikers and defroster wiring.

Should I just skip over the parts then mention these things, or is there an updated set of instructions floating out there somewhere?

 

Just skip those parts. MY02 and higher can as well. The car is now prewired and you just have to hook into the existing wiring with the supplied harness. Once you start the installation, it will make sence.

 

I started and it looks good so far.

Do I still need to pound the corner gussets with a hammer before putting the side catchers in?

 

i believe you do

 

Yes. You have to do this on all years.

 

yo man, you from belgium?
Where you from?

Gonna buy a hardtop myself in a few weeks... maybe I can learn from your installation
let me know
