It should be OK to leave the soft top on teh car, just fold it down and
free it from the rear cockpit rail.

I've never had a hardtop seal fail (but then again I don't use my hardtop
all that much), but I gather the front one gets all the rain and stuff so
is likely to fail first.

Dunno.

Slotted foam spacers? No idea.

It's a matter of fastening six bolts, four if you're like me and don't
bother with the B-post fasteners - I install mine within 15 minutes, maybe
half an hour if the front bolts put up a fight.
YMMV, of course.
