I have never heard of them having to remove the roof to change rear quarter(s)/Fenders.

Very nice additions and paint.

Just wondering how they get to the screws between the roof and top of rear quarters(that hold the rear quarters on)?

From what I have heard, they are losened up a little through body pieces space, and the rear fender(s) have a slotted edge, instead of an actual hole, and they slide out sideways. all the other screws/bolts come out and through holes.

I have not done this, nor do I know it to be 100%, just what I have heard.

Thanks guys.....

To take the rear quarters off, you have to use a narrow screwdriver to loosen up the screws on top. The top mounts of the OE and aftermarket fenders are notched and once all the other screws are removed, they slide off.

Most if not all of the work was done by myself without any help......besides the paint.

Thats the info i was looking for. Didn't like the idea of unsealing the roof as someone else had told me...

Thanks guys!
