Trying to remove homemade top....Not sure what to remove!

I have seen "topless" pictures with the metal "bars" across, and some without..

I have a brush truck with a fiberglass hardtop.....It looks like it is riveted and tack-welded.....

Are the "bars" what should be there when the top is gone? Or is it like some of the ther pics i have seen, where there are no bars?

Thanks!

The 2 side door frames and 2 bows all fit together to create a support system for the original soft top. there are 3 bolts on each side (1 on windshield, 2 on cab) that hold the system to the vehicle. Take some photos and let's see what you got.

Here's what the parts diagram shows:

That really helps...The bows them selves look so "hokey" that i wasnt sure if they were fabricated or not.Thanks!

This is what it looks like when the canvas is taken off. The bars also come off.
Old pic!

I wanted to make sure i didnt cut the wrong thing! Thanks

If you're doing any grinding, beware that the small metal sparks hitting your windshield will pit the glass.

Good call wrecker, I did that putting a cage in my CJ on the driver side window.... The little pits then rust and leave tiny brown pits

I never would have thought of that!! Thanks!
