M1009 top removal

[001CUCV]

So has anybody else had problems removing the top to their m1009? Running it in a 4th of July parade and am going to have the top off. Got all the bolts out but it won't budge. Any tricks I should try before using more force? Thanks, nick

Did you remove the two hidden ones at the back?

Where are this hidden bolts? Thanks, I knew there must be something I overlooked

One on each side at the very back, going up from under the rail.

In the back, close to the tailgate. They are on the bottom side- underneath the ledge. You can't see them from above.

Haha yep they are hidden pretty good. Found them thanks all. Guess I didn't look hard enough

The manual tells you to look for them and I think some trucks had a sticker about them on the bed rail. Glad you got it off.
