Seems we got way off the subject, but I wanted to post an update regarding my original post. Dennis Olthoff called me right back after I made an inquiry on Friday and he expained the steps again. Dennis assured me that they test fit each and every top and I wouldn't have believed how simple it was if I hadn't seen it. First, a second set of hands is pretty helpful and second, you need a soft cloth to cover the roll bar while sliding the rear portion of the top over the roll bar, and 3rd, if you're out in the cold, get into a warm space, my garage was heated to only about 65 degrees with the top in the trunk. After securing the front bows, insert the center bow into place, the two bows should be together, i.e. not looking like a "V" and then drape the top over the roll bar. Starting from the DRIVER-side, secure the snaps while your friend pulls the top with both hands at the center of the top below the rear window. The top went on so quickly and then after all the snaps were in, we both extended the second bow to the "V" position.. Everything fits like a glove, no modifications and that thing is about as taut as britney spears' butt!
