Kevin in ky Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I took mine off to repaint. There is a ground connection by antenna be careful not to break.best I can remember when I removed screws mine lifted off.it’s heavier than it looks and easy to crack front when you put it back on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you knew that, just sayin in order to unplug lights you have to lift up front of top high enough to get your hand in there I just thought the back would lift up too but something is holding the entire back down by cab filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super A_sepa Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I think it's 8 studs originally, the antenna wire, and ground wire at the antenna corner as well. Open the cab filter door and then you can reach in and unhook rear flashers and antenna and wire. But to just replace lights I would have been pretty confident if you slid it up off the studs you could prop in up and unhook and replace the lights without unhooking anything in the rear. The antenna/nut can be a real aggravation. Be a good practice to make sure the studs are in good shape/solid when reinstalled, as heavy as it seems when you pick it up Magnum roofs can become airborne somewhere around 55mph. Heck of a kite.

I lifted the front and put a block in and did what I had to do. I wasn't sure if the rear even moved, maybe it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
