It's easy. There's 4 nuts that are decently straightforward, and then the bolt/nut combination on the front that you'll have to take apart the door cards to get to. I didn't bother with that. I'll only be using the top for emergencies (if it suddenly starts to rain, or I have to leave my car out overnight), so I didn't bother to fine tune the fitment. It almost closes though, with only the 4 bottom nuts holding it on. I can get one latch on enough that I wouldn't be worried about leaving it out overnight, and it won't leak way too much, which is all I really want.

Tips:
Take apart your rear door cards first
Don't even attempt to do this alone
If your tonneau cover shocks don't work you'll need a 3rd person to hold it up as you drop the top into the place that it sits
If you can't reach a certain nut try to move the top up a bit to see if there's a better angle to reach it
You may want to put some silicone or something to hold the nut in the socket as you put it onto the bolts

Sorry, thought you were actually replacing the top, not just swapping another one on from another car...
