how to remove e30 hardtop

[e30ic]

hey fellas, i need your help with removing my hardtop off my e30. i did some research and im missing that special tool that was suppose to come with the hardtop. are there any other ways to remove the hardtop? pictures and or detail explanation would be much appreciated. Thanks

all you need is a 11mm wrench. Loosen the nut thingy and it should come right off. You will need two people

If you want to possibly scratch the shit out of your car with the metal mounting posts or possibly drop your 1000$+ hardtop then by all means remove it yourself.

Yeah why risk it?

Unless you've got no friends then just get someone to help you.
