    Use a socket and wrench on top.

      I trying to figure out why that's in there like that. Did the hardtop blow off on the highway ?

        Oh god no, that'd be a sin to kill a hardtop like that. I'm buying a hardtop from a local guy and we can't figure out how to remove this piece. I'm not with the car so I can't try to figure it out, he just wants to make sure he'll be able to give me all the hardware before he drives out to me.

          I believe its a 11 mm socket. Turn it 90 degrees. Lift straight up

              It is indeed an 11mm socket. Just keep in mind the two sides turn in opposite directions. IIRC (and I'm not 100% on this) with the wrench pointing towards the trunk emblem you rotate towards the front of the car.

                Awesome, thanks dude. Will the mounts for the hardtop bolt directly on to my vert or is there anything I need to do to get it ready for the hardware?

                  Yes. to remove the hard top and leave that pin attached to the body means they unscrewed the star ring that's secures the pin to the hardtop. That ring comes as part of the pin assembly (über $$$) so if they are missing let me know. I may still have my old ones

                      Right on man, thanks the advice. He'll be here tonight after dinner so hopefully it all works out. Any other tips on how to get it all out/installed? Do I just need what's in the picture and that's all or am I missing something?
