need help how to remove hard top off 94 geo tracker?

[Milwaukee]

Found nice hard top that I been hunt since March so found one for cheap


I am really idiot I didn't check rear top how they mount but I check top where you seat.

Are they use slot screws or there are several tools? I need to know today best.

I don't want drive 20 miles to find I have wrong tools.

How heavy they are?
do they have key lock on rear door where to get new key?

rear stock door holds rear hatch ( ive only seen one brand so can speak for all)
mine:

75lbs. (guess)

the top fits into top bow.
the metal bow has a knife edge, the fiberglass top has leading edge channel
this locks the top on naturally.
then there are 2 cam lock devices behind rear seat , belt towers.

1: open door. rear.
2: release cams;
3: slide top rear 2 inches.
4:lift it off.

easy as pie. best is 2 ppl.

you never said what you are attempiting to do, that will help so much.

are you moving the top , from car A TO CAR B , AT POINT OF SALE?

OR JUST REMOVING IT AND TOTING HOME.

makes a big diff, huh.

cheers.

Hi, There are several ways to fix your hard top.

Fiberglass right?

To repair small damage use a very small boat repair kit --you can get one just about anywhere.( cheap)

As for paint ---cheap spay can or proper automotive paint.The differance being quality and price.

If It were mine I would get some paint rubbing compound (looks like rust coloured floor wax) and simply remove old oxidation off paint It's like like car wax and just removes crap and fadeing off paint.This stuff is very easy to use and it really doesn't take long to do.All that left is small damaged area. this can be touched up with small bottle of touch up paint or arisol.Or if really cheap, like me, cover repair with a CAA sticker

keep in mind my response is for my brand of top.

there are ( or was ) more than one brand,

but i think my response is for the most common.
and yes, boat repair section of ACE hardware has it all.

resins, harnders, cloth, and even gel coat patch.
then prime it and paint it.
must be stripped of all waxes. first.
as previous poster so clearly states.
boat store. ACE, even home Depot , maybe.
