I did one on an MX5 years ago and it was very easy and straight forward to do so would expect it to be fairly similar, would advise getting someone to help you with it

I'd imagine not, its quite a bit bigger than the MX5 one, I did that on my own and it was a bit of struggle getting it on and off the car, if I remember rightly it took me about 4 hours from start to finish.
