Something to be said for that. I fitted my tonneau cover and it did take a lot of patience - came out nice, though. And, just to make it harder, I lined the inside of it with felt where it will touch the paint. The vinyl, particularly corners where it is folded and stitched, felt a bit harsh so worth the extra work. I imagine the top will be more difficult to fit. If I recall, ERA wanted $800 to fit it to the car.
