Take the carpet and back cover panel (lots of bolts) out of the trunk. You will be able to see the release cable in the left back corner. Have someone operate the release handle while you watch, to figure out which one it is. You want to pull on it with a stiff coat hanger, or hook of some sort...while two other people on each side of the top attempt to lift it off.

You can also carefully twist the top UP and to the driver side and that will help release the center pin. Once you get the top off, be sure to adjust the cable properly so that the release handle goes through its entire motion and you don't have to do this twice!
