Lots of ways to accomplish removing the cap. Pull the windshields, use the tie down points and rails to provide lifting points. Friends, engine lifts, crane, hoist, or equivalent. Really not too heavy, four people can easily lift it off if you provide something to hang onto. I would fix the edge of the cap off the hull, but wait until reattached to work other imperfections. Seams like always something needs touched up after wrestling it back on.
