Default How to remove t top liners without damaging them

I recently aquired a really nice set if 68 t tops with almost perfect liners in them. I want to remove the liners so i can clean the tops and replace the weatherstripping. How do i do this without damaging the liners or the plastic clips that hold them in place.
Thanks
Rodney

If you were able to remove them without damage (whether you had good instructions, or not), you are way ahead on this one. Most of those T-top interior panels are really hard and brittle after this many years. Almost any distortion of the part will cause it to crack.

Be as careful reassembling them as you did during disassembly. Hopefully, you will still be lucky.
