Taking off the top panel on a 99 T/A?
Taking off the top panel on a 99 T/A? Does anyone know how to take off the panel on the top of a t-top 99 T/A. I see some screws holding it on both sided when i take the weather strip off but is that all it has, or does it have double stick foam tape?
I think he's talking about that metal piece that seperates the t-tops. That piece you're talking about has some kind of panel glue underneath; it's not just screwed down.
Why are you trying to pull it?
Why are you trying to pull it?
The peace on the top between the t-tops and the rear window. I want to paint the entire car and i just want to do it right by stripping it all the way. i was told i could pull it off.
Why not all it has is an adhesive tape on the back side. Pull the screws and use a screw driver to carefully pull it up. When you put is back on get some 3m urethane seam sealer and rub a thin uniform coat on the bottom and reinstall it. I did it on the last two cars I had during repaints and have not had any problems.

I heated it up with a heat gun after i took off alll the screws and the interior. it popped off with some prying. The person who owned the car before me painted it white and the rest of the car was black. I did not like that look so it had to come off for repaint, although i am painting the whole car, but the motor is in the shop so i have some time for stripping.

I am new to this forum i do not know how to post pics yet and the times i have tried it says the files are too big?" All it is is the cover over the sail panel i guess thats the easiest way to put it.just the part that comes the same color as the car.
