Hi Wilhelm.

Yes, to get the roof support off, you have to remove the doors and 
the hinges.  It's a lot of work.  If your roof support is not too 
bad, I would leave it alone, perhaps use some Loctite "Extend" brand 
rust pacifier if it has light surface rust.  My roof support was very 
rusty from the car being outside for 4 years, and my doors were 
already off, so it was worth taking it out, and sandblasting in my 
case.  If your roof support is really rusty, though, you might 
consider doing it too.

I hope you're having fun doing all these things.  I consider it one 
of the best aspects of owning a Delorean, myself.  Not a chore at all.

Rick.
