Well I just found another oddity. I took the 6 bolts out of the frame and it wouldn't move. Come to find out there were 2 screws on each side of the frame in addition to the 3 bolts on each side. I have never come across this in any of the online DIY videos.

Just to be clear I have 2 cars and I was going to swap tops. So the car I was talking about yesterday is a different car and didn't have the screws. But it is the one I had the top all about removed when I discovered the B pillar microswitch wire. This car also has the microswitch, but I took the trim off first on this one.

OK How do you remove these? I've never dealt with these fasteners before.

Pry clip open and slide up over tit.

The screws you mentioned when removing the top are common but some folks don't replace them as the don't seem to have a real purpose.
