I'd say rip off what you can, DA sander after that. Better ideas may come up, but I'd think your choices are limited.

Ill put up some pics this evening when i get home. Some body in my old complex cut half the blue cloth off my car. So instead of replacing it i'd rather remove the entire vinyl top.

Quick questiin. When i remove the top off my car there will be a bunch of little holes from the screws that held it in place. Whats the best (or easiest) way to fill or cover thoses holes?
