I just installed mine back over Christmas. If you have a helper it's not to bad. I had two.
Lay the rubber out and install windsheild then trim. Make sure the edge of the trim catches the rubbers edge to hold it in place. If it doesn't you will know because the trim will keep popping back off, once it's right it will stay in the groove. It took about a hour to get it right.
I installed the windsheild bottom first and had a heck of a time with the two upper corner's. I would get the top in first and with the rope work your way around to the middle of the bottom. With your helper pushing easley on the outside of the rubber to make it go in.
Wet the rubber down with some soap and water too before you start.
