Trust me, you can do it yourself... i did it with a 19.99 air stapler from Harbor Freight (junk)... I'd recommend a decent stapler, as mine was hard to regulate the pressure, and seemed to blast them through the fabric one time, then not even nail them flush on the next trigger pull... if nothing else, borrow a good one for the job. You'll also need to cut the side bars to fit up exactly to your windshield, which is cool because you can make it fit perfectly to your car. Its all detailed completely in the video you get. You'll love your Bop Top, and I bet you think your car looks better with it than without. You can drive 80 mph without any wind whipping you to death.
