If you have a copy of an original Dodge Maintenance Manual you will find a section in it describing in detail how to put the top on. I used those directions for my Carryall and everything went smoothly. Only took about an hour by myself.
Would have been quicker but I decided to improve on Dodge design and put silastic in the channels to ensure 100% waterproof. Because the lock rubber relies on pinching into the channel the wet silastic effectively lubricated it and it kept popping out. Had to get a whole bunch of heavy weights to sit on the rubber as I tapped it down until the silastic started to dry.
