EZ ON top with glass window installed!
First, sorry for taking me so long to take pics and post them up. I just been too busy/lazy.
Second, to be bluntly honest, I don't even think I did the installation 100% correctly, the last bar seems like it should be backed up a bit. But my tops is fully functional, no leaks, and looks alot better than my plastic window. So
to me.
Third, I am in no way "mechanically" inclined. I was really going to fork out $700 to have a shop do it, but I literally woke up one Saturday morning and had NOTHING to do, so I called my girlfriend over, and we decided to try to install it for shits and giggles.
Fourth, this is probably the hardest/gutsiest thing I have ever done to any of my cars. Special thanks to my boredom. So goes to show, if I can do it, anyone can.
Fifth, this is for those who are wanting to change their top, but are deciding whether a Robbins top is worth $200 more than the EZ ON brand. Both brands are offered at www.topsonline.com. I have no way in comparing the two, for I have no seen the Robbins top, but this was is good quality, and fitment was near perfect.
Sixth, special thanks to Clovis and Cyclon36 for creating two amazing DIY threads. Yes, I used both.
ANYWAYS, ONTO THE PICTURES!

DURING (Some random pics I took with my phone):
AFTER:
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
I feel super proud of this, keeping in mind me and my girlfriend aren't what you would consider "handy".

i don't think you mentioned the time length it took. i went through the service manual the other day, just interested in the details, and it looked like a huge headache and the biggest pita that anyone could ever experience. how many hairs on your head turned grey during this event?
