Hi, I wish I would have received instructions to download, as it is advertised. I sent an email but never received an answer. Absolutely unprofessional.
Great product, fast economical shipping, arrived within a few days, fit well, looks great, if you are handy and have a little foresight you’ll be able to install in 10hrs. suggest you watch the various videos on YouTube before you start it will make instructions supplied easier to understand. HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS PRODUCT !!
Ordered the above-referenced top and rec’d it in approximately 5 days. The price was fair and the shipping was timely. No complaints there.
However, I was never able to download installation instructions; the web site says they’ll be available for download after purchase. I contacted the company on two separate occasions — via direct email AND by using the “contact us” form — and requested information on how to receive the instructions. No one replied.
I ultimately paid an installer to replace the top, so this did not have an effect on me — he knew how to install the top — but this COULD definitely affect others.
Great fit and looks good! Took 8 hours to install though. I had to use instructions from the internet, which were missing some small steps… I could have used your instructions that only came several days after the top was changed.
Looks great! fits good!
