Robert, I found my best luck with the top was the rotate-the-pin-in-the-unscrewing-direction-with-the-narrow-nose-visegrip maneuver, executed with the top loose and raised from the back edge almost as high as it stops in the latch. Might be worth one more shot.

Robert, if viewed from the side at rest on level ground, the car should look level; at least mine does.

yeah, I'm keeping it. Nobody was really interested, and my parents kinda wanted to keep it. I'll get used to it, and maybe even mod it a little (first thing in line, mercedes 16" rims when I get the cash). Tastefully though; no neon underkits or coffecan exhausts here!
