Default Cabriolet complete top replacement and hydraulics too!

I have a complete junkyard top with a perfect window and I'm moving it to my 5speed cab, and my top with cloudy window to my crappy cab, then destroying that top.

My old one (which is now off the car)

Note the cloudy window and the missing stitching.

Next is the "new" top- on the car now but just sitting there without the hydraulics connected....

Lastly the crappy top from the crappy cab...

Note the metal screws and LOTS of caulk

It's been a long time since I took something apart that I wasn't sure I could get back together. This is where I am with this one. Also, my existing hydraulics leak so I want to use the yards cylinders.

His anyone done either the roof frame replacement or the hydraulic replacement?
