First thing I think is to see if top is original to car or a replacement. If original (which I have) top can get pretty crusty. The side windows which fold in to the top and then roll up are very brittle and prone to cracking. Same with rear window. It is easy to split the original window when rolling. Aside from that (especially if top has not been maintained...like mine), this '10 minute on and off' that people talk about, is quite beyond my capability. I live in an area where rain can come up pretty quickly, and therefore have only used the sunroof part for the last few years. I have NEVER been able to put this top on in 10 minutes. Old zippers stick, the top shrinks somewhat so you have to stretch it to get it back on. Fingers really sore when finally done (at least mine were). I was lucky to get a replacement recently (which is probably a Bestop, as the material is much lighter and more supple). An 18 year old convertible top is an adventure, at best.....
