    My Tiger Top came in last week and we installed it on Sunday. Pretty straight forward instructions. The screws that they provide with the snaps are junk though, I twisted off 4 of them during the process. I did have the right drill bit that the kit recommends and they just could'nt handle the torque from the screwdriver.:?

    The doors were a challenge too as they seemed larger than the old school original doors. They added some rubber gasket material to the edge of the door frame to assist in sealing the gaps between the door and top. This makes the latching process quite interesting.

    Overall, I'm pleased with a top. It keeps the wind and rain off of me and makes my rig a daily driver again.

    Here's two pics of the finished job.

    Looks very good! Assuming that has the elbow buster door latches I'm sure you'll learn to avoid them. :)
