Open or unlatch your top to access the 3 screws.
The screws may be rusted, so you may want to use some PB-Blaster and allow it to work.
If the Screws are rusted then you may also want to use a hammer to the back of the screw driver to shock the screws prior to removal.
Raise the latching handle and remove the 2 countersunk Phillips screws.
Move the headliner back to get to the big Phillips screw
Push down and lift out.
Ta-daaaaaaaaaaaa its out.
Nows the time to use a tad of never-sieze to the screws when you go back.

Re: How to remove/replace your top latch.
never-sieze gets my vote for product of the decade. I've used it on more things in the past few years then I can count and it's worked flawlessly.
As always Brian, nice writeup.
