Since I still have the original top on my Bird, can anyone describe what's underneath? I've never taken a vinyl top off before, and I'm not doing mine, I'm just curious!

I've heard people say that underneath a factory top, it's painted body color, but the factory didn't take much time smoothing out imperfections, or wet sanding the roof paint, because they knew the car was tagged for a vinyl top.

Also, if you were to remove a factory vinyl top, is it a matter of starting on a corner, and pulling, or is there some type of solvent that's required? Does the factory glue destroy the original paint under there?
