Time to CHOP it!!! CHOP it and put a canvas top on the back and call it a day!

This right here is what needs to happen!

Just whip out the sawzall, cut along the lines of the rear side glass (of course, remove the glass first), go straight across on the roof, cut the hatch just below the back glass, put hinges on the underside of your new "tailgate" and attach it to your new "bed rails" by a cable on each side, get a welder to put some sheet metal where you now have gaps from the cuts, attach some snaps about every 6" around your new "bed opening", build an angled "cage" to support your new top and give you back some more rigidity, go to a canvas guy to make you a new snap on top with a see-through plastic window on the backside to cover up the bed (talk to Alpine Spirit and find out who or how he did his). Easy as pie ;)

Where did you end up mounting the belts to? Still have a back seat?

Only downside to chopping it is moving to Colorado, which isn't that bad of a downside.
