Huge thanks to @Lil'O Annie for showing us the way. I wanted to add my few observations and pics after the rather painful DIY teardown. It’s doable but tedious as described above.
My brief conclusion is this is a FUBAR tonneau execution and was recreating the wheel needlessly as my manual...

@citizen, much appreciate the great...
