Can anyone advise of the best way to remove the AFT fibreglass top?
I have lifting gear.

Undo the tent from the AFT including the spring at the rear!, take off the Gas struts, remove the head lining inside undo all the nuts 6 (8?) per side including the hinge ones, gently lift a little, then undo the electrical connectors. Not done it myself but have seen comments from various locations, not sure if the lifting runners need releasing as well or if they simply lift off. Good luck!!
