this one below looks like it came off without cutting.
what would it involve to take one off? just unscrewing bolts or cutting too?

C'mon guy's if you have any helpful info give it up. Don't discourage the kid by mocking him, save that for the asshat's that come in here and argue with advice given because they think they know it all.

the glass parts you do not need to cut but if you are talking about the roof itself then yes you have to cut it in order for it to look like the picture you posted. If you already own the car just go take a look at it and you will see that the roof is attached to the rest of the car, well what i mean is the roof is part of the body and its all one peice.
Why do you want to remove it?

The roof has spots that it was bonded together with lead to attatch it and I think a couple of spot welds. It looks like that is what was done with that roof. The lead heated up and striped out. Not sure on the spot welds but I am sure there is at least one on each corner to hold it on. www.eastwoodco.comsells lead soldering videos and kits to reattatch it correctly.
