By all mean remove the top. Remove the screws mounting the
rear of the top to the body and then remove the top from the
hinge in the door A-post. No big deal. You can also just
remove the A-post hinge with the top still attached.
Have the top frame cleaned and repainted.
Before repainting remove the windshield and frame. Rustproof
the h*ll out of the frame and then have it repainted to match the
car. Don't loose the rubber shims under the windshield frame
and they are very important to the rake and must go back the
same way.
Order a new top frame to body seal from SS. Don't bother
reusing the old. The leaks aren't worth ut.
The more you strip from the body, the less masking and the
better it looks. That means removing all the weather stripping
also.
Have fun over the long weekend.
