I don't know what to really tell you about it. It's a very big job. It requires putting it on, then taking it off at least once unless you're very lucky (but you can just take the whole top off, including the frame to tighten the back window).
Glue: Yes, but DO NOT USE it until you know exactly how things are going to fit and be tight. I used the scotch super time adhesive.
Stapler: no
Save those plastic pieces on the side, they look like little half-moons. If you break them you have to get them from Porsche, but they're cheap.
Take a lot of notes when you take the rear window part of it off. There are 3 layers of fabric there, and it's hard to figure out how they work. Yes, they will need to be cut. You will need a razor blade, but you won't be using it til the very end.
Do not put any outside screws in the thing until it's totally done, and totally tight. No outside screws or holes are ever used to tighten it.
