Deleting my soft top this weekend. Any tips?

They don't snap together they are bonded when the factory assembled them. You need to glue them back together.

In the moment, separating the roll hoops seemed like the only way to remove the center console and the rear side trays. What's done is done. Any suggestions for bonding them back together?

I think I might try super glue first. They split apart fairly easily so super glue might be an improvement.
The passenger side and driver side anchor bolt hardware aren't the same. I don't know if this is the way it should be or if it was modified by someone else. This is why I'd like to know the proper order.

I've have tried construction adhesive. I had the parts perfectly mated, taped up tight to cure, and no luck.
I'd imagine you will need a type of glue that slightly dissolves the plastic, like we used to use on plastic model cars.
I'm currently working with mechanics wire and jumper cables, to electrically melt/bond them back together just like the factory did only better.
Once I have the method solid, I will post a diy so everyone hold on to your hoops.

To hold broken roll hoops together, I drilled two small holes on the inside topside of the headrest hole.Then I used a black zip tie and cut the zip tie tail.

In the process of replacing the OEM brackets that are attached to the soft top with the CR brackets, the driver's side (left) corner gusset that fits over the bracket needs modification. The passenger (right) side fits perfectly. The driver's side gusset needs to have 4 of the 7 holes enlarged by a few millimeters.
