Can you remove and install
the roof of your coupe by yourself?
I can, but I have met several people who can't. I realize this is tough for the vertically challenged but generally speaking.....

Yes, I can remove it no problem. But you certainly don't want to drop it back into the car. I've heard of people doing this and ripping a nice tear in their seat.

I don't see what being "vertically challeged" would have to do with it. The damn car's only about 4 feet high.

I have no problems and I'm vertically challenged. I'm the perfect weight for someone 8 feet tall.

When I got my car it had the glass roof on it. I told the salesman to install the white one. When I got home I slide the glass one up under my bed. I have never taken the top off. Why, I don’t like the sound of the wind rushing by! My daughter keeps bugging me about borrowing it and taking it off but I keep putting her off. The way I look at it, it doesn’t leak why fool with it! That’s just me though!

remove yes 
install no
I've watched a few people install it, but still can't do it.
Guess I need a few more lessons

I have had my car for a year and have never taken the roof off on her.I am afraid if i do and i decide to go shopping someone might damage the inside by throwing something inside the car or try to steal it.It was different when i had my 75 that had the T-top and you would of had to be very little to get into that opening in the roof with one panel off.But maybe this summer i will do it i will take my top off, 
the car top i mean.
