Default Anyone want to help me install this hardtop?

Hey guys, I just wanted to see if there was anyone that has done a hardtop install that would like to give me a hand installing the Mugen top. I have installed the new hardware that goes under the windshield plastic and the glass is in the top, but i'm pretty confused with the rest of the install as far as how to install the rest as the directions that came with it are in Japanese. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks -Michael.

The OEM .pdf has to be here somewhere. I'm sure that would help immensely.

Thanks for the PDF Freq, I appreciate it. That really helped out A LOT! I got about 90% of the install done with it. I just need to install the rear weatherstripping and finish bolting on the weatherstripping around the windows that I can't figure out how to install to the car.

Hope the install went well, but aren't tops supposed to come off in the spring?

... I have to agree with Dan here, at least I have one supporter. I have a question for you since you also have a Mugen top. I can't figure out how to mount the weatherstripping that goes around the windows where it goes underneath the top towards the back. It comes with a plastic screw on each side in the weatherstripping, but there is no way that it can fit into the small pre-drilled hole that comes with the top, should I just pop that out and put a small screw in there to hold it?

My 1.3 mpx camera really sucks, but i'll go snap a few if I can find a lighted area. I'll be back in a few mins with some pics.
*edit* nevermind, I forgot that I have no front on the car.
