I was wondering how difficult it is to take off the soft top so I can get to clean out the crap that blocks the drains. Has anyone does this? And was it as much of a headache as I think it's gonna be? (Details of how to do it would be nice!!)

Thanks.

I believe it is easy - Bentleys says 4 screws.

Search this forum for more detailed info, but count the number of shims/washers on each bolt, and when you put it back on make sure you use exactly the same shims/washers, and the roof will fit perfectly arf

its a pain in the arse, well for me it was. you need to get a socket set that goes around corners to remove it, as stated by mr curry, make sure the shims are corectly positioned :wink:
