This was a few years ago and I had planned to get it welded but taking it apart seemed a much bigger job than I expected. So far I am just carful when I open and close it and have had no issues. I figure when I need to replace the top I will fix it unless something else happens.
Is this as simple as disconnecting the transmissions, removing them entirely, or...?

I really wish my car had a manual top. One of the linked threads refers to "robust mechanism." I don't know, seems kinda Rube Goldberg to me. The original owner could have spent that $2,426 elsewhere on some other options!
