I did my top on my 65 Coronet convert. Take
your time and follow the FSM. Having an air stapler sure comes in handy
too.\

Subject: IML: Convertible Top
Installation
My '61 convertible
and a friend's '64 convertible are in need of new tops. We've found tons
of suppliers for the tops so that doesn't look like a problem, but the
installation part raises some questions.
Most suppliers say that they
"recommend installation by a professional". I'm sure that would be the
easiest way, but the costs we're being quoted seem awfully high.
Following the many posts to the list lately about doing stuff yourself (with
which I absolutely agree!), is it all feasible to try to install a top
yourself? My friend and I would be available to help each other so we
would have a two-man installation team.
I've read several web sites and
the FSM for my 61 and it appears that there really aren't a lot of special
tools required to do this project, just reasonable mechanical skills and lots
of patience.
So, what advice or recommendations does this learned body
have for me?
