You have just purchased the finest Hardtop available on the market today. By following these simple instructions you will have many years of enjoyment and the Hardtop will last as long as your car. The following tips will be helpful if you are qualified to do it yourself. If not, we recommend that your Hardtop be installed and finished by a professional body shop.

A point to remember, automobiles are mass-produced and built with certain tolerance. Sometimes these tolerances are quite large. No two are alike. A body man is a skilled tradesman; a skill that is not learned overnight. A “well fitting” automobile is a series of adjustments and compromises. DO NOT paint until after initial installation. After this initial installation procedure on/off will be as easy as convertible up/down.
