Nice write up Fintro.

Suggestion... Instead of pulling really hard at risk of breaking A-pillar trim, merely reach down behind w/ a long screw driver and release clip at dash level holding in and it easily comes up and out.

VERY IMPORTANT TIP: Do NOT over tighten the T-30 screws upon re-install or you'll have another DIY to perform... http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/17135-convertible-top-receiving-latch-plate-thing.html
