My solution is cut it off at the bottom of the window line and build a super lightweight roof that telescopes in minutes about 18". Goes down the road shorter than the original, and has the proper taper at the back to make aero. Don't put air conditioners or traditional RV vents up there to make drag, and incorporate your tracking solar system into it.
Add a slide while you are in the cutting mood, but make it very light.
