what would be involved in changing one out? I mean does it unbolt, or is it welded in? I have not paid any attention to how it attaches.

it is screwed in and is glued in, you can get it off but you will distory it in the processes. So I doubt you will find a used one in good shape.

I got a good one out of a junkyard... Jut pry GENTLY, use a puddy knife to seperate the glue...
There are the 4 screws you can see, then there are screws under the t-top seal... Unfortunately I have not been able to remove the gasket without destroying it, THUS you will need a new seal kit...
