heres a Link of a Video that shows you how to install the top. I had mine replaced last year but I just had someone do it seemed easier that way

are you talking frame and everything?? or just the canvas??
if its the entire unit then it can be done in an afternoon.
theres around 15-20 bolts style tak strips around the back window boot area and 4 bolts behind each 1/4 panel. after those are off the motor can be pulled out with all the hydrolics attached. 1 bolt on each side to take the hydrolics off, swap them to the new top unit and put it back into the car.
its not that hard, i did mine this way 2 winters ago.

I've had my tops replaced 3 times. I had it all done, so I have no idea what you do. I do know that the 1st one took about 7 hours! # 2 took about 3 hours. That place did my 3rd, as well. It's a big job to do. I did have my LH side rail replaces maybe 2 years ago. They left the convertible top on it. That's all I know.
