:rofl I think there is one rivet at the back,it's amazing how just silicon holds it in place ain't it lol.
I am thinking about going the poptop roof route if the roof ain't that bad.

Well an update on what been happening with the roof,it put up a good fight and held on till the last minute.
There was a lot of sealant in there and that was the only thing holding it on
Anyway here are the pics it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be ,the rust hasn't totally eaten through so should I cut it out and weld new in or should I grind it back and treat?

I might be looking to get a poptop instead of putting the hightop back on.
