ive done it both ways.. but the frame wont stretch the canvas regardless if the frame is on the car or not.. the frame is half open when you put the canvas on the frame.

its a little less work by not pulling the frame out of the car but by pulling the frame out, it makes it a little easier to get the material towards the bottom portion of the frame.

Taking the whole frame off the car is cake. Never tried to remove the top from the frame itself tho. Will have to attempt this when weather clears up.

I got mine installed by Arjay's Upholstery off of Convoy in Clairemont. It was $300 from what I remember and they did great work. I'm going to go there to get my top replaced again hopefully in the next week or so.
