Some of this is repost; I didn't get any responses to I figured I get a do-over.

I need to replace my roof. I can either do it myself or have a body shop do it. I don't really trust bodyshops to do very good work, ESPECIALLY if it requires removing interior parts, or external trim. That's why I plan on prepping the car(s) myself.

Assuming I can figure out how to remove the ceiling and the roof/windshield trim, how do I remove the roof? Do I need to cut/weld, or is it bolted, clipped, or something simmilar? Does anyone know exactly how the roof is attatched to the rest of the car?

I have already read my Haynes manual's section on body repair, which was very simmilar to the section for anything else I might be interested in doing myself... take it to the dealer.
