I just pulled everything, but the soft top, (I'll pull it when the buyer shows up) to permantly install a hardtop.
I used the Honda service manual and it was easy and not so easy.
Several panels needed to be pulled in order and had screws, plastic retainers and hidden built in retainers. Pulling the seats is easy and a must. All the panels behind the seats, inc the sill plates, inc the roll bars need to come out, just to get to all the bolts to remove the top. Butch
