Just bought a 1996 gt convertible , first thing it needs is a new top and I have it on order. I'm pretty handy but would like some instructions for the Celica, have not been able to find anything on line. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Aclone

I did my 92 a little over a year ago. My top came with good instructions. Pay careful attention when you remove the old top, take pictures as you take the old on off to refer to if you have questions and don't rush. If you have specific questions I'd be glad to share what I remember.

Thanks, that was my plan, what did you use for glue?

HH-66 Vinyl Cement, I ordered my top and supplies from convertibletopguys.com. They have a kit that has staples and contact cement which I ordered with my top. I have an air compressor but I didn't have a stapler, I got mine from toolbarn.com. They are loacted in Omaha so I was able to stop by and pick it up. I always like a project where I can get new tools and save money by DIY.
