5. Push the handle forward toward the windshield and
hold it until the convertible top is fully raised, and
the latch pins are all the way in the holes above
the windshield.

top is securely latched on both sides.
Lowering the Top Manually
NOTICE:
Do not attempt to lower the top manually as
damage to the vehicle will occur. If the top fails
to raise or lower completely, see "Raising the Top
Manually" following.
Raising the Top Manually
If your vehicle loses power, or something else happens
that prevents you from raising the top electrically, you
may need to raise the top manually. This will allow you
to safely drive the vehicle until you can get the top
repaired. Raising the convertible top manually should
only be done in an emergency and requires two people.
Before you do these steps, check to make sure that
the bypass switch in the trunk is switched up to the
NORMAL OPERATION position. If it is not, switch it
to the NORMAL OPERATION position and see if the
power top works.
