I've taken off both the front and rear fiberglass sections on two Sonett III's and found it quite easy on both cars; I only needed another person to help me actually lift the detached pieces off the chassis. The Sonett III factory manual supplement gives a step-by-step instruction (with pictures) of how to do both the front and back piece.
I went the extra step to remove both fibergass sections so I could use POR-15 rust protection everywhere and then put new rubber whereever the chassis joined the fiberglass. It took about an hour to get each of the front sections off, maybe 3 hours to get each of the rear sections off. Drilling the rivets and removing the screws/bolts was easy; lifting the sections up off the chassis past any contact points without cracking any fiberglass was the fun part...
