I also drive with the top down around 95% of the time, and the car is garaged in the winter, so no snow testing here.

Try to get the top fabric really tight/taught with those suction clamps. I didn't detach the top like the OP, but I can see how that would make the job much easier and cleaner. I used quite a few nitrile gloves in the process. Good luck!
Yeah, I'm hoping it's as easy at it sounds. I'm terrified of pulling the top apart and getting it stuck partially off and not being able to put it back on!
