Mike,
You may need to use a wrench to remove the bolts holding the targa latches on and remove them with the roll bar. The latches will then be easier to remove from the vinyl - at least that is how I got mine off a few weeks back. |

A long phillips screwdriver will be needed to remove the screws that hold the plastic or metal trim pieces around the latches.
I have found the targa bar pad can be difficult to remove, but keep at it, it can be done. CCL |

If you've got ALL of the screws out from behind ALL of the plastic caps (both horizontal and vertical), then you're way ahead of me when I did mine. Good luck. |
