here they come.

We started by removing the folding doors. The instructions were a little vague. There is a single C clip that must be pulled on the spring side and then you can pull the door towards the side and it will slide off the other hinge pin. That will allow you to pull up and off with the door. We followed the instructions for removing the support brace and then the hinge nuts. This part was a PIA.



The whole top in the retracted position needed to be pryed with a screwdriver to get the hinge to fold over enough to get the large washers off.

I then slid in the brace on the wrong side, my son caught that. The next pic is in the wrond spot.



This is in the right way, everthing was put in barely tightened to allow for line up of hardware.



We used the templates to drill the 1 3/4 hole and discovered that there is metal to cut through also. I didn't have a metal cutting hole saw so I used a router bit with a drill. We ran into problems with the spring tensioner getting in the way so i had to remove.



Here it is with the metal removed. I tried using a jig saw first but the peice became to weak and flexed. I cracked the top plastic but it gets covered up with the style bar so Lil Goat said don't worry about it.



We placed the style bar in place following the instructions.



The right aft edge of the bar over hung a little and we tried several things, loosening all the bolts and shoving forward while tightening but it still hung over almost a 1/4 inch. We were concerned with the trunk closing.



I cut the doors with the provided template and installed them, lining the panel up and marking where to drill the hole.
