Default DIY Softop Removal?

HI, I'm looking to remove my entire soft top, frame and motors. Couldn't find any, but is there a DIY for the entire removal?

Finally finished...

Now what to do with all that space....



Thanks for any help!

I heard that it is a big pita, it takes a couple of hours to remove. I believe if you do a search, there is a diy somewhere that has pics.

Im in the same boat as you, except for the part of removing stuff. I haven't got to that part yet.

They only really thing they have on here is how to take off the interior to work on the top.

Im gonna look at my service manual to see if it shows how to do it.

I finished removing it, although I made a very stupid mistake at the end when lifting it out which caused a small tear...

If anyone needs any help or info, pm me and I can guide you through it...
