It's really not bad at all. Just follow the video and take some pictures. Much easier than an oil pan gasket or water pump replacement. One difficult thing not in the video was the very front of the roof attachment of the new roof - I thought there was a channel the front bead had to sit in - that is wrong - you just pull it up front and wrap it over the frame without paying attention to the bead and clamp it down. Also if you don't have metric rivets, just use 5/16" and drill out the holes a little bit to fit them in.

Good luck!
