Hey guys.
I'm only in the beginning steps of my robbins' top install and im already stuck! If you guys could help me out, that would be great.
I'm in the process of removing the water channel but I can't seem to reach the last screw on both sides. Is there any trick of doing so? If its this hard taking it out with the top already cut up, I cant even imagine how its going to be replacing it with the top installed!
as you can see all the other screws are out, making it real loose cept for the ends.
The only part thats still attached.
The screw I can't get out. I can reach it but not directly enough to unscrew. I'm even using the short screw driver. Any suggestions?
Btw, Thank you cyclon for this write up.

I used the write-up several weeks ago and it was a big help. Thanks. I had a hard time replacing the rear tray after the top was in, but I got it in good enough so that the rattles are limited. ing some pics:

Great write up, although I will never try this. When my top on my MY00 ripped and Honda refused to repair the top, I just sold the car and bought a MY04.
Whola... new top!

I did mine with the entire interior and roll hoops in. A buddy and I completed the installation within five hours. This installation in my opinion is overrated.
