Even with a quality replacement product, this is a very tough DIY job, especially for the inexperienced...and a bad result (doesn't work well, not water/air tight, short life, etc) is common. Best to have a upholstry/top shop do it.

How do you change the convertible top on a 1988 sl560?

Changing the top on this (and all of what are the chassis 107 models, regardless of the engine number (280, 250, 380, 560, etc) assigned to that year is a straightforward process, like most all tops. This one is a particularly tricky fit and has some difficult parts to deal with. And it becomes increasingly more difficult with the less expensive replacement you buy. In other words, if you have to ask, you can't do it. The labor, without the replacement top itself is commonly $800-1200.

On both sides of the rear panels are latches with arrows on them, they have to be released. They lock in position when the top is put down and the rear of the top on both sides is pushed down.
