Default T-Top

Does any one know how to remove the clip that holds on the t-top handle. I need to remove it so I can take out the lock cylinder, but I can't see under it weel enough to un snap or slide out or anything. Please help.

All you need is a small slotted screwdriver and some patience. Getting it back in is harder IMO.

I use a 90 degree pick. Once its off, snap the clip into the handle. Installation is easy....just push the handle back on and it will click into place.

ok so t is just a c- clip like what holds on a crank window handle? I should be able to get that, I don't think that I have a slotted screwdriver, but I do have a pick set.........wait I think I do have a slotted screwdriver, I'm gonna go look for that in a little bit. So I should have the clip on the handle when reinstalling? This will lock it back in?
