There are several clips (3, IIRC) along the windshield.

I'd take another look at the overhead light--I has to come down in some fashion. Something beneath the bulb perhaps.

Re: hardtop headliner removal???????

Yes, the overhead light holds up the middle. Take of the plastic cover and remove bulb. You should see two metal studs with metal retainers (looks like a washer). I had to use needle nose pliars. Retainers are on tight. Use pliars to wiggle retainers off studs. I thought that my retainers would break but they came off. Then another plastic part of the console should come off and expose two screws. You can buy new retainer clips if needed. It's more of a pain than it should be but you can do it.
