The key is the ends. They are cast integral to the roof and there is a lug on the bottom of each end that holds at the floor outboard of the coupler pad.
Push up with your thumb on the bit of the end that stands proud of the floor whilst holding the sides (not the roof).
Once the roof lifts clear...
...keep working each end up its rails with the side til the whole end/roof assembly slides clear.
Can all be done with your fingers so no tool marks from prising away at the wrong places with a screwdriver.
