Default convertible top skin replacement

i need a pdf or html photo how to install the top on a 97 mustang conv that some fuckers tried to break into and didn't even manage to do it right
at least... at least they were too dumb for that.


anyway, a chiltons or a haynes would suffice
done the search thing here, and even moreso on google


i know it's going to be a pain in the ass but, it's gotta be done
and no way in hell am i going to pay as fat as they want for installtion

Good luck, its not so much mechanical skills that you need but the knowledge on how to pull it tight and make it fit from end to end. At first it looks like the top was cut to short and when you do try to install it and are done you will probably have wrinkles and creases in it that you will not be able to get out. Heck I can rebuild a rear, trans and engines but when it comes to tops I will shop around. Aot of tricks and some special tools are needed. Did you try a search on the Corral?

Not sure how much is install in your area. But today I got a quote for 681.00 for glass window top installed on a 89 Mustang. Thought that was good, since the top would have cost me about 380-390 range delievered.
