^^ anything is removable with the right cutting tools
If you do a sliding ragtop make sure you reinforce things properly.89 Festiva L Carby 4 Speed... RIP. Evicted and Scrapped. I HATE MY FAMILY

No problem. They have several sizes. Not sure which would be the best for the Festy, but the 35x35 is the smallest and cheapest!

If you remove the front and rear glass, and the rain channel covers, you can remove and replace the roof panel as a unit. Nobody produces it, so yous need to get one from another car.
The reinforcement inside above the headliner is likely buckled, causing the roof panel to be allowed to move and flex. Remove the headliner, and using a jack and a 2x4, put pressure against the roof sp youars until they meet the roof, then slowly and carefully apply pressure to set them, being careful not to buckle the roof outward. Apply new adhesive before doing this.
