Hardtop Torx Brackets-Can they be removed?
Hey Gang-
I converted my new JK from Hardtop to Softtop today! Have one minor issue, I use the Raingler netting and need to use the holes along the back of the cargo area but the hardtop's brackets that the torx screws are still in there. I tried to get them out but am afraid of breaking them So....
Do they come out? Is there a trick or should I just use brute force? Thanks all!!!

i got a hardtop last summer and have been holding it down with nuts and bolts.. If you're not going to use your hardtop any more can i buy those off of you?
But i have seen them come out in awkward directions so good luck. and congrats on the new Jeep!
