At the very least, and with these tops you better know what you are doing before tackling yourself, otherwise the results will look very amateurish. Check around for a reputable shop in your area that works on convertible tops. If none, you may have to hit the dealership but expect to pay some $$$. There are no shortcuts with these vert tops.
