Bentley manual. You may wish you handn't worked on that without pictures and Bentley first. It isn't intuitive on a 1971 the first time you do it. There is a long rod that wedges it together. You have to loosen that long rod/bar and move it to release it.

| Don't know if a '71 is different from later years, but on my buses the top edge is tightly wedged into place. You need to take a rubber hammer or something and beat the cover upward to free it. |

Beat it up on the driver side and loosen the retaining strip on the slider side. Plan on finding rust.
