i recommend not doing it yourself. its really hard and frustrating to do lol. if you're set on doing it yourself watch some videos on other convertible cars to get an idea on what to do.

It is a royal PITA but can be a DIY project if you are patient and get the manual as previously mentioned. Plan on at least 16 hours and have someone to help you, if you have some good help you may have them pat you on the back when you finish it in 10-12 hours. Be very careful of the weatherstripping on the top frame where it meets the windows. Or just pay a pro to do it -- a good quality top will set you back close to $500, installed should run $12-$1300 total.
