    They have spot welds actually i think, not bolts I know that. Rear window has to come out but the windshield should be fine.

    no bolts, just spot welds and sealant. i would take both front and rear glass out. if your serious about swaping roofs, do it at factory seams if possible

    That's how im planning. Drill out all the spot welds and remove the back window for sure. IF the windshield needs removed then we'll do that too. I need a new windshield anyway so its not a big deal at all. But then reweld the new roof in and seal it all up so it uses the factory rain channels. No leaky roof.

    well when you go to put the new roof on dont butt weld the pillars that would that would comprimise the structual rigidity of the chassis. cut the inner piece say 8in from the top, and then the outer 13in from the top to offset it
