Mike (ok227):
Go to the home page here and you'll have access to electronic versions of each years manual.
The top is easy - I assume that you mean the
hard top - If so:
* - Set up your
hardtop cart first and have it near the rear of the car
* - Drop both side windows and leave the doors open
* - Behind each seat, where the
hardtop meets the body, there is a lever on each side
* - Pull each lever
half way out. You'll feel it stop
* - Now, drop both visors down to expose the header
* - In the glove box or trunk, there should be a
Torx tool, you will need that to loosen the front from the header- If you don't have that, let me know and I'll look up the Craftsman equivilent
* - Now, loosen both screws on each side of the header. They loosen and the screws will not fall out so make sure they are all the way loosened.
* - Now, have a person on each side, reach inside and pull those two levers the rest of the way, out
* - You both should now be able to lift the front from the header and the rear from the body - Usually one hand centered where the window sits and the other under the sides of the
hardtop itself.
* - Lift straight up, and now walk towards the rear of the car and place into the cart
NOTE:Although only 85 pounds, it is awkward lifting and walking. So make sure you have a strong partner - My wife is 5'2" and did it once but almost lost it. Call a macho neighbor
🙂
I have done this from memory, so if any reader wants to modify or add to my remarks please do so.
P.S. Some of the things I mentioned are not necessay to take it off, but they are to put it back on, so I included them, since you will some day put it back on.
Let us know how you make out.
