Yes. Two latches, two twists and unplug the rear defrost and it's off. Only 44lbs, so it is very easy..

yes, less than 3 minutes..... don't forget if you don't have the hardtop kit, it takes about 1-3 hours to install that first.

It's a large peice but if you get or build a storage rack for it it's not too bad, especially if your rack is wheeled. I forget what I paid for mine, a couple $k.

I have had mine for 2 years. Bought it right after I bought the car. With the top on it is a whole different car. It is beautiful on my black '01. I actually prefer the look with the top on. Oh, it also stiffens the car up, actually about as much as when I added the x-brace.
