I installed the canvas on my '85 in a few hours last summer.  Instructions
from GoWesty were minimal. I did it by myself with a step ladder and a screw
gun, with the top in place. I only had to disconnect the support arms.

 I think marking the center lines on the canvas was was part of it, and
otherwise, it was pretty straight forward.  BTW, the three window canvas from
GoWesty is a whole new world.  Side Visibility!  Cross ventilation!  Wish I
had done it years ago.

See if one of the vendors will fax you a copy of the installation sheet.
There are also picture installation in the archives.
Looks to me like you need to get the pop-top fiberglass off and onto the
ground. I'm sure mine is different but it is just stapled to a wood frame
in the top. But very hard to get to.
