Haha, good eye on the pic!

I believe the bolts you're looking for are farther back. The whole thing will lift out nicely assembled in one piece. I still have my original (w/ plastic window) and my later replacement '03 glass window top sitting in storage. If you use this method, you will ensure nothing goes out of alignment for reinstallation in the summer. Oh, another benefit is you can now see my 3.8L engine under the hatch
