Yes it can. Cut it at the ridge line near the back sail panel with a dremel and cut-off wheel. Then use a knife to cut the adhesive above the side windows. The just slowly lift up from the back towards the front, cutting the adhesive as you go. It'll eventually pop loose, then you'll have to cut the adhesive above the windshield.
I have pics of the process in my T-Top conversion thread. Link is in my sig.
