    I am going to install my top by myself. Does anyone have a sticky to help or illustration. Thank you.

    I would get a pro for that.

    x2 on pro installation - I have a scissor top Pontiac, and every adjustment is critical or you break things the first time you go to put it down. Some guys can do it but I know I cant. Pay the money and you'll be much happier.

    I only ever helped install 1 top on a regular style top frame. There is no way I would try to do a scissors top.

    Even for a regular top you need to have a gun that shoots special staples or they often pull out. The one we used had the staple legs cut on a bevel so one leg twisted to one side and the other went to the opposite side.
