Try these:
1 open both doors
2. stand behind your spare tire, and grab the whole top thingo, throw/push it over the roll bars
3. while the top over the roll bar, use one hand to held it up, walk to 1 side of your jeep, use another hand to pull the sunrider bit over the door frame,
4. continue push that sunrider bit down, till you hear 'click', you might need both hand here
5. click the other side
6. now the top is hold in to place pretty well on top of the roll cage. proceed to do the rest bits.

I had problems with it first, found it the easiest to stand on either side, grab both of the bows and keep them pretty close together and lift them together. Then just latch the front and finish up the rest

I discovered a little trick the other day to keep the top from sliding back after you throw it over the top. The sails are fairly stiff and if you place the bottom of them on the edge of the tub they will hold the top up so that you can walk to the front to hook the latches.

I just stand on either side and start raising the header once the other side gets hung up I grab the midle bow and push that to help the top go up and over the roll bars. I have a 2dr and can deff see how it would totally suck on a 4dr or if you are vertically challenged. I agree with the whole flipping the entire top up though, I have done that a few times for cleaning purposes looks really silly but hey it works.
