I have done the same, really nice fit all round in general, the full fold-back front section is great and the additional flaps to make it easy to get the roof channel out makes it a breeze to flip back (no more sore fingers).

I have found though over the last few weeks that the back section of roof without the windows in does not sit well after a while (slowly works its way towards the middle). The design needs some straps on the sides to keep the top taught from side to side when windows are not in. The additional flaps to cover the velcro, when windows are not in, should be extended to wrap around the roll bars to act as the attachment point, this would cover the velcro when windows are out and secure the rear section better.

I have also found the rear window to let down the whole look as it in not as tight which leaves the rear window with some warping/wrinkles that I have not been able to convince out even with direct heat.

Even with the few minor things that have been overlooked I still highly recommend this product.

Opened a set of EVO magnum 44 sleeves to go into the new HP30 build, unfortunately I have to say quality is definitely missing on this product.

So the tube seems to be ERW, which for the price is pretty poor, the weld is visible on the inside and outside. The ends have just been cut off by a ban saw and not cleaned up or made square and the surface has rust inside and out.
