Default Convertible top replacement

Anyone done so on an 89-91 Dak and have any pointers? I have a new replacement top. I took the front trim piece off where the top folds under, and it appears it's glued down to the frame. Is that right? Any hints for removing the old top without ripping it and cutting it to shreds?

I have no personal knowledge I can only supply links you probably found already
https://www.topsonline.com/model/Con...ta_Pickup.html They might have instructions
http://www.dakotaconvertible.com/ I think this site may be an archive as there is no link path to the next page which looks like it is from the same site.

Yeah I have that top...the included instructions basically boil down to remove old top and install this one. Thanks for the links tho.

WTF? I hurt my back this week and have been on meds....I see your PM now. I use my phone exclusively and the PM notification isn't obvious.

But I'll answer you nice and clear. I'm probably not going to use them but you aren't getting them. Spend your tax dollars elsewhere. The nerve of some people. Like I owe you anything.

poor excuse for not getting back with me. I've seen you make replies on the forums after I made a reply on the other thread and sent you a pm. My tax dollars are spent. You've dragged your *** too damned long and you couldn't give them to me. They're not that important to me. They would Be nice, but really don't care for yours at this point. I wouldn't give you the satisfaction. As if I owe YOU anything and should be expected to wait months on end to get a simple yes or no answer or not get a reply at all until you feel like getting around to it. Screw that. And screw you.
