Default Roof Panel Removal???

I am painting my roof panel and have done a search and can not seem to find what I need. Just curious if anybody has done a post with pictures on how to take roof panel apart so I can get it painted. Thanks, Jeff.

Are you asking how to remove the panel from the car or how to
take the hard wear off the panel.

All you need is a Torx bit #40 that will take the latch handle off.

Why not just get a transparent top, it is a nice mod to have?

After I take the latch handles off do all the seals just pop off?

the paint shop you take the top to should be able to do the removal and installation of the weatherstrips. Its not necessary to remove the latches to paint the outside part of the removable top.

If it is absolutely necessary for you to take the weatherstrips off yourself, they are held on by four phillips screws per side. Look in the slot where the door glass goes when the windows index up, thats where the screws are hiding.
