I am thinking that taking the roof and frame off a 2000 Boxster shouldn't be that hard. Please correct me if I am wrong. I am thinking I need to:
Remove the aluminum part that covers the roof (Goes up and down). Remove bolts (nuts) at the cover end.

Pop off the plastic pivot pieces that are removed when doing the roof manually.

Remove two bolts that actually hold roof frame to car. Not sure where these are but I will find them.

I do not need to mess with the cables or motor that raises and lowers.

I couldn't find in my Bentley manual. Anything I am missing.

I am swapping in a painted roll bar. Figured this would make things a lot clearer.

Any suggestions for removing the sound proofing without destroying, please let me know.

I have to think this will take a bout 4 hours. Thoughts?

Thanks.
