I would like to know if somebody has the notice (or operation method) to install a convertible top on the spider, I try to do it this afternoon but the tuning is not correct .........

Here is a pretty good guide to installing a new top (hood) on a FIAT Spider:

What a pain in the butt. I can't believe they made it so complicated. I would like to have a new one but dread the thought

For a couple of bills, I had my local auto upholsterer do it, best money spent so far. This is a tedious and error prone job.
