I think he means temporarily to allow it into the garage while it's being resprayed and then to plonk it back on.
E D I T your post title to read 'Leisuredrive hi top removal' as you will have more chance of grabbing the attention of someone who has already removed one

Re: hi top removal.
Thanks for the welcome,Yeah I just want to remove the top so I can do a bit of welding and a respray then put it back on.Doesnt seem to be much holding it on from the outside (3 screws up each side)but I would need to start stripping back carpet on the inside to get a look.

You will probably find its bonded on around the entire circumference, pig to get off neatly, but needs must if you want to get it undercover,

Sorry please excuse my ignorance
Hi I am Riggsi Im from Ireland just outside Dublin,I am mostly into Aircooled stuff I have 3 bays but I have recently taken a shine to T25'S .
I bought a 1990 singlecab pickup a couple of months ago and a 83 Leasuire drive a few weeks ago so I have been hanging around here picking up tips.
Great site BTW.
