Your 86 Corvette came from the factory with a small ratchet wrench with a star driver attached to it for top removal. If you can't find one in your car, they can be purchased on Ebay for about $30. Assuming that you have a wrench, you will note one hole just behind the sunvisor on each side. Completely lower both driver and passenger windows and open the rear hatch. The wrench can now be used; slide the star socket upward into the vertical holes until it engages into a hidden screw. Now turn the wrench counter clockwise until there is no resistance.

The third and fourth bolts are above the headrests in the rear edge of the removable top. These holes are horizontal. Insert the star driver into each hole and turn counterclockwise until there is no resistance. You should now be able to lift the top, (use two people if possible) and remove it from the vehicle.

Now turn the roof 180 degrees (front to back) and slide the roof panel into the holders under the open rear hatch. If all else fails review the owners manual. Lots of luck!
