Default soft top removal

this is the deal. if you remove my top properly, you can keep my rag top. There's one 2.5 inch rip on the spot where the canvas rubs against the mechanism.

i was toying with the idea of removing it because i have a hardtop and the softtop just seems to be taking up unecessary space

I know a couple of guys who can do it. What are you planning on doing with the soft top after wards?

either just store it or sell it. not sure if i can sell it though cuz it has 1-2 inch rip that plagues a lot of 04-05 cars =/

Don't do it unless you like the sound of increased cabin noise and hearing dirt and rocks kick up underneath the car. It was bad enough to make me want to put one back in...and I have a pretty good tolerance for that kind of stuff.
