I have the 4 door but I had to put the header piece on with a bunch of screws. there are other screws that need to be put on but it's pretty obvious when you think about it. It looked daunting and the instructions, although good, were a bit confusing. I had a hard time committing to putting the first screw in (but I always have a hard time committing, ask my wife). If in doubt, look at one at the dealership or if you know someone. Out in the sun is a must! Having someone help (another set of eyes or lifing it on the first time helps). I take mine off for the hard top and one thing to watch for is some of the bolts where it pivots open can get loose. Check them if you open and close the top alot. Hope this helps.

I got the top on today guys. Thanks for everyone's help and tips. It really wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I practiced putting it up and down, and figured out where my problems would be, if I were to have any. I am going to check the seal on it tomorrow, as it is supposed to rain here. Thanks again for all of the help.

Josh
