Definitely easier with an extra set of hands. The assembly is heavy and awkward to get in place alone.
You need to remove the whole back seat and side panels to get at the mounting points. The frame is held to the car on either side with 3 13mm (IIRC) nuts. You'll need an extension and a deep socket to get at them. Sometimes there is a spacer in there too for alignment.
The rams can give you fits to get disconnected and remounted.
Obviously, side spoiler trim and rear decor molding needs to come off to remove the staples. Be sure that you remount the rear decor molding in the same holes you took them out of. If you drill new holes, you will get water in the trunk.
Near the rear quarter windows, there is also a spring-loaded cable that hooks into an eyelet at the bottom of the canvass top that will need to be disconnected.
