My top came in the mail yesterday, it's pretty exciting. There was supposed to be a installation manual that came with the top, I guess that is coming with another box. How long of a process is this? One day? Half day? all day? I'm a mechanic by trade, so I'm kinda quick when it comes to working on a car, I just wanted to know approximately how long this will take.

ok guys, don't do this yourself. It's ridiculously hard to do, even for someone that does everything else to a car for work. I got stuck and had to call a friend that used to work at an upholstery shop owned by his brother. His exact words were "some upholstery guys can't do this". He helped me and was having some trouble himself. We had to staple it and unstaple it a couple times before it actually was at the point where he said I can do the rest. It's mostly on right now, the hard part is over and now I'm back to engine stuff so I can drive it. I'll do the finishing touches later once it stretches out.
