Evidently you don't have the tool in the console that came with the car,or the owners manual that tells you how to remove and store the top.But yes any Torx bit of the correct size previously stated will work.
A word of advise,perform this on a level surface,and with the top removed,be careful of stressing the car too much on steep driveway or other ramps.I'm sure your dad dosn't want to buy you a new windshield too!
