So after watching this I've come up with what I feel is a great procedure for soft top replacement. *Step 1:* Remove old soft top *Step 2:* Fit hard top. 🤣

People looking for a how-to should look at other videos. This is a musical montage of disconnected steps where important details are hidden from the view of the camera or omitted entirely. It's basically a music video.

The black art of soft-top replacement. Sends shivers down my spine just thinking about it! It is something I have been meaning to do for my '89 NA but every time I contemplate it I break out in a cold sweat.😧 Well done in achieving Zen level in fitment. Be sure to protect the new hood regularly with 303 Fabric Guard, and you'll have years of life out of it.

I had to replace the "rain rail" (plastic channel under rear window) on one of these before. It took me forever to torque it down correctly where it doesn't leak. I'd tighten one side only for the other to spring a leak. Definitely the most annoying repair I've done on a car.
