This could not have been a bigger pain in the ass.
I eventually had to remove the four bolts that hold the swing arms to the trunk. Thanks Lee.
I didn't have any tools either, they were in the trunk. So I had to use plyers to get them off.
All told, it took me 2.5 hours to do it. My chest is sore as hell today from laying across the part where the wind screen goes. I'm 6'1 190, so that didn't make squeezing back there any easier. And I had the spare tire to contend with.
DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU. It was the most frustrating thing I've ever done.

Did you fnid out why the trunk wouldn't pop?
I didn't connect the release to the trunk. I had it off putting a wing on the trunk.
Trust me, I realize that I'm an idiot

Boy, am I going to bust your chops the next time I see you.
I love it, I just love it when I have a good needle to poke folks.
