[QUOTE="veggiemike, post: 442761, member: 9226"] Well, I did it on mine for a while... because my hydraulic lift cylinders both exploded. It's a tad heavy to be putting up/down by hand. I usually ended up standing on the back seat to get enough leverage to keep it from slamming down. Anyway, if you really want to do it (and I'm not sure I'd recommend this, even though I did it), take your back seat and rear trim panels off, disconnect the hydraulic lines from the lift cylinders and drain all the fluid out. Probably a good idea to pull the electrical connection from the motor, too. If you force the top up/down without disconnecting the hydraulics, you will blow something (probably the cylinders... the have a shitty plastic top on them) [/QUOTE]
