Jonathan Williams used to have an excellent photo reference online catalog of the process. Great details. Chase his name here. You'll turn it up. I've done three of them. I'm an autobody tech, so it seemed to be within my realm of ability. That being said, I accomplished all three with good end results, but it took me approximately 8-9 hours each time, and I struggled a bit. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I LEARNED: Before you pull a staple, before you take out even one screw: MEASURE the EXACT location of the bow that sits approx. 7" over your back window. The leading edge of the trunk: Mark it with tape and draw an exact point where you've measured from to the trailing edge of that rear bow. It needs to end up there give or take 1/8" when the job is done. Notice and measure the same point you've made on the trunk, this time to the center of the rear window bottom. Try to replicate that measurement quite closely as well...otherwise your rear curtain/window will hang up and possibly break with too much pressure applied when the top retracts. That's it. I'm not a pro at it. I struggled, but they came out very presentable. It can be done, but be patient. Good tac glue and a proper stapler and proper length staples will be key. Good Luck! Bob
