The removal order is: Front Driver, Front Passenger, Rear Passenger and last the Rear Driver.
Reinstallation is: Rear Passenger, Rear Driver, Front Driver and Front Passenger is last.
Along with warning that you should not sit on the roof or attempt removal while driving (among other funny things) Toyota warns that failure to remove or torque in the proper order may result in warping of the frame (most notably the windshield) and/or the roof panel and will most often result in poor sealing. I don't think warping would be a huge concern of mine as it would be
very minor, but it's enough to prevent things from sealing well and that's a big one in my book. If I want to listen to blowing air, I'll take the top all the way off; If I want a wet seat, I'll have it shampooed.
