I have been pondering this idea for awhile. I was thinking a hollow square metal sleeve like 2 foot long and cut the roof supports off 1 1/2 foot shorter. Then pin it so the whole roof raises and lowers a foot and a half. I think if you remove it fully you will have to support the four posts and I can't think of a good way to do it. My only dilemma is if it would rattle like hell.

Re: quick release roof
ooh I like thie idea! but yes rattling would be a pain in the but. if the sleeves were on the out side of the suports it may not rattle all that much...

Next option would be see look where roof supports connect to body. Not sure what this connection is off top of my head but change it to studs on cart that don't move and use wing nuts to hold it on. This solves rattle problem but back to how to support roof and supports from bending when not on cart
