The TOP:
This is a very nice product for the Money. The fitment was spot on and I'm very happy with the soft top. The rain rail that comes with it is super flexible. No need to worry about it cracking, you can bend it all you want.
INSTALL:
If it's your first time then you need at least 5hrs. I started at night and worked on it for a bit. I was able to remove the soft top frame from the Roadster and the tattered old top before going to bed. Then the next day, I started at lunch time and finished everything by 5 in the evening. If I did everything again, it would probably take me half the time since I don't have to go out and buy the tools. This is not a complicated project, you just have to be patient.
Once you get the top installed, you will not be able to latch it on the car, and that's totally normal. There will be a 4" gap between the top latch and the frame. Use zip ties to bring the latch and the pillar latch together. Luckily, it was about 109*F here at my place which helped stretch the top.
