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 :wink:

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,
