the plastic piece for the roll hoops is not two pieces, if you open it, itll break

I agree, but you can remove the roll hoops and still leave the plastic on. They will be still attached at the seat belts so they will still be somewhat in the way. I also removed the seats. It is only 4 bolts per seat and it made it much easier to move around in the car.

thats about it, start with the seats and work your way back.... everything needs to come off. there are some bolts in the trunk that you need to remove.
Also when you about to remove the top there are 2 clips holding the soft top near the doors. dont forget those.

Thanks guys

I'll start hacking away wish me luck

Oh I read somewhere that I need to take the rivit out?

How do I do that?

Ya I learned that the hard way when I did mine.

Gluing em back together isn't too hard though at least.

I never removed seats..... I just started with whatever I was able to get to.

I recall the panels behind the seats, and then down the sides where the softop motors were. Then I pulled the panel underneath the softop where it's held when in the down position.

I just kept pulling till it was loose.

The rubber pieces and all that are on the side can mostly all stay in place as is, don't waste your time taking the actual soft top apart any.

No rivit to remove. I removed mine a couple weeks ago. Did you buy a hardtop and rollbar Sean?

the s2k dude

do not remove anything with rivets.. theyre talking about the rain gutter. its better to remove the hardtop as 1 peice.
