Detach the sides. It's pretty much the same concept as the early Alpine top that
I just described for Rob W. Except take out the part with the pocket for the
cantrails. Does your roll bar interfere with the side doors? Anyhow, It's been a
while since I've done a later top, being the early car guy that I am, but the
trick is in how you roll the top around the front windshield mount and tuck it
into the rear window. Do this before you try to lay the frame into the stowage
space. It's much easier to show people how this is done than writing it in
e-mail, I'd be happy to take calls and coach you if you really get stuck. - ian
