Stripping down a snugtop for paint??

Anyone have any imput on how hard it is to do this? the body shop I called said they would drop 150.00 of the price if I could remove all windows from the shell. Its a snugtop supersport. Pic and pointer would be great! Thanks!

 

hardest part will be removing the windows and salvaging the rubber.

might be worth it to simply tape off or find something better.

 

I had mine done by a local body shop for $400.00. They sanded and taped it off. Looks like it came from the ARE factory.

 

Ya thats what I was afraid of I just didnt know how hard those are to take out.

 

I did my Leer but I don't know how the window attachment is with a Snugtop. On my Leer to remove the windows I had to take out all of the screws on the inside. The Leer windows were attached with a trim ring inside that screwed to the window on the outside. the two pieces basically sandwich together with the canopy in between. The Leer windows came out and went back in fairly easy.

 

Did you have to get yours painted? what did it end up costing you?

 

Painted it myself. Not the greatest of jobs but I have a friend that works at a Paint Supply shop in Oregon so I got everything from him for cheap. Barcelona Red or any red for that fact is outrageous. The color is off but next time I will have my mom's cousin shoot it. He has a body shop in Oregon and he can mix and blend on site to color match exactly.
