Yes, it IS a DIY job. I did mine alone and it is tight and drip free. It
would have been easier with a helper to pull along with me.
I got a brand new Amco (sp?) top in the boot of my car when I bought it. It
had never been installed. Directions were included and it was marked exactly
where to attach it to the header bar. A very easy installation. Buy a new
rubber strip for the header bar since you are doing the work.
Since you are in AZ, keep in mind that the top stretches when it is hot. If
you install it in the sun and make it nice and tight, you will not be able to
put the hood up when you visit the north in the winter.
Good luck,
