Ugh, another scorcher...  I'm thinking about taking the top off sooner then later...

...Lift up on the door while swinging it open and closed...

I have also found that the closer to the hinge I hold onto door to lift, the easier they come off.  I guess it doesn't put the pin in as much of a bind.

I've had mine off for a few weeks.  I have a bikini, jammer, duster combo.  When it rains, I take my wife's Jeep to work and cover mine with the trail cover.  But she's out of town now so if it rains  :eek:

You guys are right on with the door removal tips. Works well and after several times the doors come off easier.

The "wind drag" of the top stinks. I take everything off whenever I can. I just throw on a jacket and go for it. If you must have the top (rain), I found it best to only remove the rear window.

I have seen the "emergency top" in the Quadratec catalog and think that might help with the pop up showers. I have the trail cover that works pretty well, but you have to park it.
