I am going to replace the butyl on the rear glass; does the plastic rectangular surrounds (where the targa top mates into the rectangular hole) need to be removed prior to anything else, or does the targa trim come off with the surrounds attached?

You do not have to remove the targa latches to remove the pad. Once all the screws are out wiggle the pad loose and pul out as much as you can. Position the hook of the latch in the slot of the cover and you can remove the pad.
It is even more fun to install. |

It is even more fun to install. for some reason, as you stated, I was unable to wiggle out the targa pad with the latches in place. this is the reason I had to resort to removing the latch entirely. fortunately I have smaller fingers and I am able to get into those tight spaces. thanks |
