Dismantling soft top cover, headlining and rear window

  1. Position the soft top fabric with the rear window on a work bench.
  2. Manufacture a tool as shown in the illustration.
  3. Lift up the clip with the tool and position a knife underneath.
  4. Pull out the clip using the tool and follow up with the knife so that the windscreen frame is not damaged.
    NOTE: If only the inner roof is to be replaced, there is no need to remove the clip. Lift it sideways slightly away from the window frame as shown.

  6. Continue in the same manner with the rest of the clips around the rear window until the window is removed.
  7. Fold aside the connector for the rear screen heating. Remove the screen and replace the outer roof, inner roof, rear window or springs as required.
