i cut the c pillar first..and cut out s few scale inches..and the a pillar..had to spread the c pillars out a bit to get them to fit right..then use zap a gap..i braced it from behind..u also have to cut the roof in the middle and add a strip of plastic..if u have any more ?'s abt this ask..chopping a top wasnt the easiest thing i have done..it was my first time but it came out well..
