Michael,

Be very careful with the epoxy wood preservative materials. Stuff like Get-Rot is very liquid, about like water, and could find its way onto the interior panels. If the outside edge of the wood is in question, use longer fasteners to secure the new top and rain gutters. A good seam sealer from 3M would work well; I would stay away from silicone.
Lay the top material out on the car and let it set in the hot sun for some time. The top needs to stretch for it to look good. You will need some helpers...
Good luck,
Rex
