Get your top tool out...it's that curvy metal tool that you've seen around the car but didn't know what it was for...if you can't find it, use a flat blade screwdriver.

On the inside of the car, right behind the driver's seat (on the left inside panel) you'll find a little lever with a plastic handle...you want to crank that towards the read of the car. There's a little chrome lever right under that lever...push that down. You should be able to lift the rear of the convertible top up. Reach down again, and crank the lever towards the rear of the car. The top cover, which looks like a big horse shoe should pop up. This is where the convertible top will nestle into.

Flip down both visors...you'll see a round chrome nut between the convertible top and the windshield's top frame...slide your top tool (or screwdriver) into the slot and push towards the center of the car...do the same thing on the other chrome nut. Pull the top straight up and continue folding the top towards the back and down until the top is completely inside the boot area...then push the horse shoe back down to the car, and crank the handle forward....get in the car and drive.
