Don't forget to apply protectant when done. This will keep the water beading up on your brand new top. I just applied some today to mine.

I masked off my car with newsprint paper (actually it was packing paper from IAP from my last order of new pedal covers, a license plate frame, and a serpent key chain) and blue painter's tape. For the front windshield all I did was capture the paper between the window and the top. The paper keeps the protectant from getting on your paint, windshield, and rear window.

My top is not new, but I apply this every year and it keeps it looking and lasting great.
