Yes, the replacement tops with glass for 02 & earlier use a smaller window and it makes it hard to work on the engine from service position.

I did my 01 with an 01 last fall. I don't recall the two screws. Moving the whole top back does help, tho. Clam shell is easy to remove, too. And be sure the linkage is unfastened.

I'm doing my 03 today, I think. Really like the idea of the glass window. It is a one person job, but get some furniture pads from Harbor freight or a couple of blankets to keep things from getting scratched up. While mine is off, I'm adjusting the linkages, mine are way out of adjustment, all of them for the top and clamshell have been replaced.
