I am so pleased with myself. Me and a buddy changed my top last night in about 4.5 hours. I changed to the glass window and was able to swap tops and frames which made easy(er). All I expected was to be able to see better out the back but I got so much more. It fits so tight that my original top rattle has disappeared and amazingly the loud wind noise I used to have has completely gone! Even over a hundred the wind noise is gone and the car feels "tighter".

Overall, it was a pain to do, my back hurts, but so very worth it!

 

good stuff! Fancy doing mine?

 

What do you think was the hardest part of the job?

 

i plan to do it, too. the instructions make it look easy. I would imagine drilling out all those rivets can be a pain.

 

what does it involve?? i have the glass window already but was thinking about swapping my ragtop to the blue one...

 

how much did you spend total?

 

So you didn't just swap the vinyl top, but you also swapped the frame? Please tell us more.

 

OK,

Boy wonder - I would do it for you any weekend for a small fee

S2k dude - I have to say it was reaching behind the back wall to get all the hardware off

Steven - what rivets? are you talking about changing just the fabric? I got an 04 top off a wrecked s2k with the frame already attached.

blue - basically you will remove the roll bars, the trim panels in the back (where the top retracted rests) then there are 11 nuts around the edge of the top, I swapped the motors and mounted them on the same tooth as the original top and put it all back together.

850 - I got the top with the frame in practically brand new condish for 600 pounds (roughly $1140) probably could have got it cheaper from the states but he delivered and i received next day!

White - I did get the top already mounted on the frame so that made it a fairly simple process, just time consuming.
