It's no help to you at all, but I gave up half way through my top replacement. However, as I had my own top and had already taken my old one off, the shop I ended up going to only charged me $300. The only sources I found when I looked for how-to's on the subject were the Chilton's manual and instructions that came with my top, which I bought new from convertible top guys. (Edited: I had the supplier wrong - originally listed Tops 4 Less, but that was where I got my headliner)

But if you have patience and any talent at all with upholstery, you may be able to manage on your own. It just ended up being a more complicated job than I had realized.
