    Hi I hope someone can assist me with this.
    I have got a crack in the flexible rear window of my 360 Spider. So I am wanting to remove the soft top to have the flexible window replaced. While I am at it I will also replace the elastics.
    I have got the cover removed up to exposing the elastics in the headliner.

    Can anyone assist with instructions on how to get off the soft top from here on especially from the pivot points of the on the sides and the back. Any help would be great. Thanks.

    If I remember correctly, there is a heater wire that runs along the perimeter of the flexible window. It's just a matter of putting 12v on the heater wire to soften the adhesive in order to peel it off. You do the same when installing a new window. All this is done with the top in situ. It's best that you get a hold of the work shop manual to verify that this is the correct procedure.

    This sounds correct.
