So pulling out the top from the back works but the guide pins make it very tight. Can I remove them so I can just put some carpet under it and slide it out the back.

Default Thanks for the design Ideas...

I drew up some quick plans based on your original design(again, Thanks), and made some mods… Harbor Freight is having their parking lotsale so I picked up some 3” casters for this rig. My design has an integrateddoor storage but I think I will build a separate caddie for them. I plan onrolling them under the hard top when complete… will post pics when I do…

Nice! I'm looking to find a hard top for my Jeep. I was wondering how I'd get it off by myself, this gives me some ideas.
