Is a KEY needed to remove the hardtop?

Is a key needed to remove the hardtop off an RT/10?


Just curious. One dealer I asked to take off the hardtop said they didn't have the key for it, and they would have to order it for me if I bought the car.




Thanks!

Nope, just an allen wrench for a Gen 1. A key is needed to remove the back window if its locked, but not the top

What about a Gen2?



Thanks again.

Same for a GEN II, at least it is for my 2001 RT/10. A key is needed for the rear window, none for the hardtop...dealer is either an idiot or may be hiding something...or may have been brain-dead when you asked him...it sometimes happens to me .

An allen key is needed to remove the hard top on a gen II as well.

and a crow bar is needed on a GenII also

You guys lost me about a key to remove the back window?? I undo the snaps and pop it out. Am I missing somethin here? Never heard of such a thing. I've got a Gen I and I am confused. (as usual)

There is two key locks on the rear window, but the top on my 2000 came off without an allen key. just the rear window needs a key, its like a same lock key. Locks the window in place

I can easily take my top off with out any keys or tools. The rear window does need a small key to remove.

Ok thank you guys for your answers (including the one laughing at me , yes I know.... but I am green when it comes to Vipers......hey that's what you guys are for ).

The dealear that told me I needed a key was not a Dodge dealer, and maybe they didn't know. They said it was the 1st Viper they ever had for sale.

Tell them to order the key. I want to see what they order

I'm fairly certain they were laughing at the dealer, who should be educated a little bit on vehicles they are selling.

I'm with Chad. Ask them to order the hardtop key.

Same here. There is no key, Allen wrench or anything else other than your fingers needed to remove the hardtop on a Gen II, at least on the '99.
