Rag-top removal

Hi. I have a white 88 cougar with a blue rag top. The rag top is in terrible condition and id like to remove it. I took a quick peak under the fiber glass and so far it looks like i dont have much rust damage to contend with.  So can anyone explain how to remove it off my car? I can see four big dabs of what looks like glue holding the fiberglass to the roof.

I dunno, I'm in the same boat as you are. I figure body work is gonna be part of removing it so I'm waiting until I get the car repainted to remove mine.
