Can't get the hard top off on my 20212 Rubicon

[Doctorjay]

Good morning,
Just purchased a 2012 Rubicon. Cannot for the life of me get the hard top off. Took the six screws off but seems to be glued on.
Thoughts? If i can not do it myself, cost to have someone take it off and reseal?
Also, best place for price and quality to get a soft top for it.

Fold the seats down in the back, then get in on your back in trunk.

Put your feet on the inside roof of the hard top, then press up with all your might like you're doing a leg press.

The top will come off then, I guarantee it

1. They are a little heavier than you might anticipate.
2. There is a weatherstrip between the top and the bed of the vehicle. If the top has never been removed, you'll likely have to replace this after your removal as it's all stuck together by now.
