Default Convertible top

Been searching the forum for a while but just cant find the answer on here. Does anyone have any experience changing the convertible top on their car? I think may have to install a new one this year and I'm just trying to get prepared.
Thanks

I have done headliner, but not the top itself. To do a top replacement well you need to be able to judge the correct tautness, and this is a skill that comes with experience. It is one job you might want to consider sending to an auto upholstery shop that has experience with convertible tops.
