Easy, remove the side interior panels and the plastic pieces on the top
front of the roof. Underneath, you'll find bolts that need
removed. Easy. You can email me if you have any more
specific questions.

Now you need to do like I'm doing, looking for a new or used soft top
for mine....I'd prefer to find a used one in good shape, but if I can't
I'll probably buy one from Can-back. They're great, have you seen
them?

I havent seen any soft tops, but now that you mention I do want one, its alot of work just to put the top back on just incase of rain. We dont have a garage either. If you find one let me know where, and if i do ill let you know ok!!

thanks again

FYI. Can-Back apparently is no longer in business making convertible tops. I think they went under. In my opinion they made the best. The sides and rear window rolled up if you did not want to take the convertible top completely off. Of course if you did take it completely of, it took only about 2 minutes to do so. I previously owned the Sun-Top convertible top (still do - but don't use it). The Sun-Top had some cool features also, particularly since it allowed full use of the factory rear window. I bought the Can-Back when my rear window motor finally failed completely. Unfortunately Sun-Top also went out of business.

JUST REMEMBER ITS GOOD TO REPLACE TOP BY STARTING WITH TOP MIDDLE TWO BOLTS TIGHTEN TO EACH SIDE THEN FROM FRONT TO BACK BEST WAY TO PREVENT LEAKING

Heck, I don't even use all the bolts when I put mine back on and still
don't have any problems w/ it leaking... They're just good like
that.
