You need a helper to start with. 2 bolts under the hinges. 10mm I believe. Take one out and then have the helper hold the loose side. Remove the other bolt and lid is free. It’s light… but be careful not To scratch the paint.
On the rain tray… I think it’s riveted… drill them out and the rain tray pops off. Lay the old tray on top of the new tray to locate where the holes go. Use big washers above and below the tray to add rigidity to the whole thing. New rivets or screws. |

FWIW, I just removed mine by myself. Before I removed the bracket bolts, I used 2 empty cardboard paper towel tubes positioned over the drain holes of the rain tray on top and the rubber bump stops on the bottom.

Once it’s off, use a cut off wheel to change the holes in the hinge brackets into slots. It makes installing the lid an easy 1 person task.
