Is there an easy way to do this by yourself:(
 
lay it in direct sunlight, or heat it up with a blow dryer
make sure the staps arent tight also can make for a fun install
 
oh and start at the front and work your way back
 
Thanks for the directions :chug:
I got it on last week but it did take some help from a friend to get it on right.
 
I once wrote an essay about putting on the soft top

I do it alone and give myself about an hour to do it

have to let the sun warm it up first, then throw it over
and then get the front set in the window channel real well
and then get one side started
and then get the front set in the window channel real well
then get the other side started
and then get the front set in the window channel real well
then finish one side
and then get the front set in the window channel real well
then start the back and finish the other side
and then get the front set in the window channel real well
then finish up
and then loosen it all to get the front in the window channel real well
and then tighten every thing up
hopefully the front will stay in the window channel first time it goes down the street
