Default 72 lemans vinyl top install Q's

This is one of my many winter projects i want to get info on.

what do i do for the prep of the roof? right now, its sun-bleached faded paint with small remnants of the old vinyl top and glue. i'll post pics in a bit.
should i strip the top and repaint then install?
i really have no idea what to do. We drive this car alot, it will be rained on and basically a daily driver in the spring summer and fall.
again pics to come with what i have fixed on the window channel in back.
i also want to install this myself as i don't like to farm work out if possible.
Also where the lux lemans emblems used to be i want to fill the holes. iwas going to weld them shut slight fiberglass over and finish with paint or a sealer?

Time to watch a bunch of you tube as well. Thanks for the help.

Some people just epoxy prime, however I would paint it like any other panel....it will offer more protection.
