Removing a fiberglass top

Post by pengyou »

There is a 96 stro with a fiberglass top being parted out in my neck of the woods. It is in good condition - no cracks. What do you think are the chances of being able to remove it without damaging it? and the hassle of installing it?

They're glued on pretty well.
Fastest way would be to sawall a larger section off the van,then work on it at your convenience.
If not some sort of heated wire to melt through the glue to cut it off.
