I would highly recommend getting in touch with Bill at this Ebay store:

http://stores.eBay.com/Autotops-Store

I bought a top for my '92 VW Cabriolet from them and it came with an installation video that was GREAT. I think the price for the top and video was about $220 or so. I had never put a top on a car and found their DVD to be indispensable (in fact, I feel confident in saying that there is no way on God's Earth I could have put that top on without it) BTW, I am NOT in any way affiliated with them, nor will I get a dime from this. I am just a customer who found their top and instructional video to be a great deal and saw this question, so I thought I would share my experience. I know from that experience that there are a bunch of options out there but these guys will help you out if you need it (and if you haven't done this before, you will need help) and their top is really nice quality and comes with a 5 year warranty. Anyway, I did mine myself with Bill's video and a little help from him along the way and now have a great looking, brand new top that I saved about 400 bucks on by installing it myself. Also, let me say that if you have never put a top on, it will take you a LONG TIME (they say to "Plan on a weekend, but I say it's more like a week) and is a royal pain in the A$$ in some parts and pretty easy in others. Installing a top is MUCH more difficult than you would think that it would be, but if you are pretty handy with your tools, you can do it if I did. Having said that, I certainly don't think that 400 dollars for the installation is nearly as outrageous as I thought it was before I installed mine and if I had the extra cash, I would probably just pay someone else to do it next time. Hope this helps!

How do you glue down hardwood flooring?

Normally, installing new vinyl directly over old vinyl is not recommended because most manufacturers will not honor the warranty. Any bumps or dips in the surface can translate through your new vinyl. Dye or stains from the old vinyl can also seep into the new vinyl. But you can remedy this by applying an embossing leveler over the old vinyl, and then sealing it with an acrylic sealer. Then trowel your glue onto the sealed surface, and install your new vinyl. Most recommended practice, however, is to remove the old vinyl OR install new wood underlayment on top of the old vinyl. Then spread your glue and install new vinyl. As always, check the installation instructions for your new vinyl.

Can you get a hard top for a Porsche 911 cabriolet?

It depends upon the year of your Cabriolet. If a 1999 or later Cabriolet, the solution is vastly easier than an earlier one. Go to any source like eBay for a listing of Hardtops for Porsche Carreras. Used, they are quite reasonable. If you order a new Carrera Cabriolet they cost about $3300.
