Paul,

The soft top isn't that tough of an install - just scary.

Find the center line of the car and start there. If I remember correctly, I installed my soft-top bows and then stretched the material over. I pulled the top down and back and figured out where the studs would fit on the car - marking as I went along.

Once everything was marked I removed the top and then measured each mark with its duplicate on the other side of the body, just to make sure the spacing was symmetrical. In some cases I had to decide which one was correct by putting the top back on and stretching it back down and back.

When I was satisfied I started installing studs, starting from the center. Worked out very well. Just remember to pull everything tight.
