jamesledingham:
I'm about to convert my truck cab to a hard-top. The top I get may or may not have windows in it...

I've got a couple of queries...

1. What exactly do I need to fit it other than tools, common sense, and 30 nuts&bolts?
2. If I'm having windows fitted, does anyone know whether it's the glass/seals that's more expensive or the cost of actually having the glass fitted?
3. There's no aerial for my radio. Am I best fitting one in the standard place on the wind next to the bonnet or is it simpler to fit on the roof? I'm only asking because I remember fitting an aerial on a mk2 golf and it took ages to get the wheel off and the wheel arch lining out...is it the same with a defender?
4. If I manage to get a top in the wrong colour, how much is it going to cost me (and where?) to get it sprayed the correct colour?

Ben:
I'd recommend having a friend handy to help position the top as you put it on - they're not too heavy, but very awkward to handle on your own.

Cheers

Ben

The wing aerial is easiest in my book... Its what i did!

jamesledingham:
Is it a matter of removing the wheelarch lining having removed the wheel? Is there easier access?

Magnum335:
No not at all.
Will go and take a pic for ya!
