There is a $20 video DVD available for Mac's & maybe others but I haven't seen it. There was a good thread on the HAMB but all the photos are gone now. The general instructions in Volume 3 of the Restorer series of books from MAFCA are good for all closed car tops that use the retainer strips. Most folks use every other hole on the tack strip around the edges for tacking the top material down then they mark the in between the holes for the retainers with marks on the protective masking tape that should be laid down. The interface of the top material and the outer edge tack strip areas has to be sealed well or the top will leak. Don't tack the material down all the way until it's properly stretched & smoothed out all the way around. The retainers must be held solid at the ends so make sure the nails hold them well.
Do you have the original retainers? There are several types that are available now but they have to be formed to fit.
