well guys i know its dumb but i only have liability on the car.. 570 for full coverage was just to much for me to pay at the moment. i still have the glass from my top. so basically what i wanna do is just take JUS THE CANVASS black top from an ap1 to my ap2 using my stock frame n jus switch my glass over.

I dont think that this is going to work. When changing an early AP1 from plastic to glass there are additional straps needed to make the top fold correctly so that the glass doesnt break. With that in mind you have an AP2 frame which already folds correctly for a glass window top and if you try and put a plastic window top on it may or may not fold correctly. Either way in my opinion this is so not worth it, just spend the $500 and get a replacement top from Robbins or EZ On. Either one will work just fine.

IIRC, if you buy a strap that allows the 2nd rib to get pulled back/held in place, and four elastic bands on the AP1 top, you should be ok installing the AP2 glass on the AP1 top - as far as I know, from HTG, thats what I have.
