• A few years back I was going to attempt to install my convertible top myself. At that time there was a lot of discussion about a video that would walk you thru the steps to do an install. Many suggested the Al Knock video. I bought one and have watched it a few times. I would describe it as a good tool if you are going to tackle an install.
• If you have the video hopefully things will go well, Vette fever had and artical about the installation and of coarse I can't find it, what I can remember about it is the top frame should be on the car and adjusted for proper operation before install less weather strips, and a pair of something I can't recall the name of, great help huh?! And the door glass adjust last, ANYway good luck!
