Top roof installed

Finally completed.

Few comments:
-BIG THANKS to Chortle. A true expert for the top installation. His guidance was key to complete this task.
- The posted guides to install the top headliner and the window sides rubber scrapers were also very helpful.
- The rear window cutting is scary, but once is done is done. Then you need to ensure have a good pneumatic stapler. Electric stapler is not that good for this job. Not strong enough.
- Last but not least. Do not buy those rear window frames that come with the plastic insert apart. To much work to do to put them together by glueing them, then you have to shave it for the right measures, then you have to fill the holes for the screws to fit….so much unnecessary complexity.
- Ensure you have adequate long-thin nose pliers - locking pliers to tense the rear cable and buy good quality cables. I had to replace the cable because the stud ends were not correctly crimped to the cable.

Cheers!!!!

Nice, only Caveat
To rid the side pucker of the cable at the front, you have to Trim the MAterial to just below the stitched seam, or punch a hole.  for the cable feed through.
