Doug's description of the above-mentioned removal process is correct.
I "short-cut" the job... will post pics later, if time allows. May be late this evening or tomorrow.

Owwwweee. Michael - To remove the two pieces? Dis be a job.
Remove side windows, remove rubber, remove rivets holding interior
horizontal pieces that are covered by window rubber, go into engine
compartment, using your 5 way articulated fore arm (or remove engine) go
under the interior deck from the engine compartment, loosen 10mm nut holding
I inch interior covered center piece, then the two parts just slide out.
Can't recall if the three vertical pieces have to be removed first. If so,
invoke 5 way articulated fore arm again and this time remove 10mm nuts
holding the covered piece below rear window from the engine compartment and
cut out rivets on the two little triangular side pieces.
To replace - reverse the process. PS - oh yeah, Me? I forgot to bolt in
the two top cover Tenax peg snaps which are used to hold the GTS top cover
located behind the seats. I have spent a year noodling over how to do "step
(1)" that I forgot to do without undoing the whole mess (see above).**
Once done and replaced - you'll be proud of the job you did.
Now Michael - all this is from my demented memory - I'll bet there are folks
out there who could find fault with my recollection. It may be easier - it
may be harder. All I recall is if the curved rear glass is removed and
during replacement - it has to be bent just - - - - this I<->I much. Bend
it too I<---->I much? "SNAP" Very unforgiving as it snaps into a thousand
pieces. Even if you find all the pieces and glue it back together - it
still looks like hell.
Good luck.
DOUG
** side note - I had to look up the name and spelling of that GTS top cover
snap thingy - it's Tenax. Their web site shows snap pegs some of which are
SHEET METAL THREADED SCREWS. Hallelujah - my year old problem is solved. I
won't have to fish the nut in there and try to bolt it - I'll poke a hole
and screw it in. And as David Townsend said to Michael Delany at the end of
Lemans, the movie, when Delaney allows Porsche to win Lemans - "Thank you
Michael."
PSS - I believe that the Steve McQueen Lemans movie shows the ONLY
transition between running across the track and jumping in the cars and the
now "Indy car" rolling start. (The reason Porsche cars traditionally have
the ignition key on the drivers left). The McQueen movie shows the cars
already lined up, ass end pointing to their pits, drivers in the car,
engines off. When the flag is dropped, they blast off from an angled
standing start. The following years - the race is started with the cars
rolling.
