Its not easy. I did one on my friends sebring and you couldent pay me enough to do it again. My sugestion would be to take it to a convertable top installer with the ebay top. I can recomend a few if you like.

IF you look on dsmtuners.com, they have an install guide with pictures. It is a big pain in the a$$. I took it to a shop in Hatfield, pa

It is a pain in the ass because it involves stretching it, properly gluing it, etc...
