Hello, I just joined the forum today. I have a '92 T/A convertible with a new top that I plan to install myself. Any advice or hints on how to do this would be appreciated. I have never done anything like this before.

Thanks a million for the link Cargasm! Before I start on my top I need to find out who sells a new Garnish Molding (large black piece of plastic trim near to where the top meets the windshield). I checked out thirdgenresource, hawks, essentially all the ad banners for this site with no luck. I guess I'll send one of them an email to see if they have any. My current garnish molding is pretty much destroyed.
