2002+ Robbins top (retrofit kit for 00-01) install. I wish I could have made this a DIY but I'm sick and I just helped and snapped pics where I could.


OEM top already off. Here you can see the 00-01's top frame and the way it works. The #4 bow normally attaches to the top and moves with it. But with the glass window, that setup is changed.


The reason for the change: foggy plastic rear window.


Drilling out the rivets that hold the old elastic strap to the #2 and #3 bows. Handy-dandy vaccuum cleaner nozzle underneath to catch the shavings.


Chissling off the rivet head afterward.


The replacement "improved" (according to the instructions) elastic straps that came with the new top didn't have holes. The only thing that made them an improvement was the fact that they weren't worn out and old. Otherwise, they were the same length and construction.
