See if you can find some of the old JV Group videos on installing top and upholstery. They show how to do it.

I made the top on my '13 roadster from the original. Had a lot of fun doing it. I also made the side curtains. I live 100 miles north of San Diego.

The top was purchased but I’m going to install it.
I might make sides later on

Fitting bows to sockets is not fun.
