I, too, bought the track expecting it to be a relatively easy job. I've had the track for at least 5 yrs and haven't installed it yet! When I removed the screws that hold the seahood down, I found the previous owner had used some type of sealant/adhesive around the perimeter between the cabin molding and the seahood. With that length of glue bead, it's a very strong seal. I haven't tried an exorbitant amount of force, because I'm afraid of breaking something ... like cracking the seahood. The other option would be to bring wedges and attempting to work from one edge around to the other side. Another idea would be to use something like a piano wire "garrotte" to slice through the sealant all the way around the perimiter.
