Re: spider hard top removal

Thanks I have the manual, locating the screws clamp hook supports is the problem i`ve got. Electrical connection i have found but dont want to unhook at windscreebn and just lift if it is also screwwed down. I know this sounds silly, but never removed a hard top in my life.

Re: spider hard top removal

OK (I don't have a hard top)

Here's the page from the workshop manual....

It might help

Steps 1 and 2 (not shown) are disconnecting the Electrical connector and opening the front hooks

So this shows the rest...

Re: spider hard top removal

took mine off yesterday

unclipped the front, undid the back electrical- undid the screws as in step 3 and then carefully back it off the trunk edge off of the two hooks (they stay on)if you like. Don't lose any parts
