Convertible Top & Window: What to Know about 2-Piece Convertible Tops
When you purchase a 2-Piece Convertible Top & Window, you will receive two sections of the top: the Convertible Top section and the Window section. They are ready for installation; no sewing is required. During installation, each section gets installed on the Top Frame separately (the same as the factory top installation). After installation is completed, the Convertible Top Quarters will overlap the 2 sides of the Window Section, making it look like a 1-Piece Top; in reality, they are 2 pieces overlapping each other (which is the same as the original Top).
NOTE: With a Convertible Top & Window, if your model's Top installation requires, you will receive:
(1) New Wire-on trim & 2 Chrome Ends to hide the staples;
(2) New assembled Convertible Top Header Seal made with the same material as the Top Cover, or extra material the same as the Top material to recover the existing header seal. (The Top Header Seal is NOT the front rubber weather strip.)

(4) Can I install this Convertible Top myself?
Technically, yes, most people can manage to install a Convertible Top on their own, provided they have experience working on automotive upholstery projects. However, TopsOnline.com recommends using a professional installer. Why? Because (a) a professional is going to provide you with the very best convertible top installation that you could ask for; (b) in the rare case where an installer might make a mistake, they’ll take care of it – but if YOU make a mistake with your own installation, that’s coming out of your pocket; and (c) finally, manufacturers reserve the right to void a warranty due to a faulty installation when that installation is done by someone who is not a professional installer. So bottom line: don’t take the risk: hire a professional installer for your convertible top installation – it’s worth it and you won’t regret it!
