Just make sure NOT to try and take the roll hoop covers off - they don't go back together! Remove the roll hoops as an assembly with the covers still in place, or you'll be replacing them, like I did last month.

Believe it or not, you don't have to remove the roll hoops. or the console. i only remove the seats and the rear trays and side covers. to each on how you do it.
