Re: Convertible Top ?'s

I would not do the install since yourself. Especially your nursing a hernia . Trying to install the swing arm is tricky and is heavy it takes upper to mid lower body strength to install although you will need a second pair of hands. My advice pay someone that knows how to install it.....
