5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Using an open-end wrench, turn
the six-sided part of the silver rod
as far as possible.
The plate brackets will rise up.
Using a hexagon wrench, remove
the 2 bolts and lock on the left and
right sides of the vehicle.
The lock on the left side of the vehi-
cle can be removed. However, the
lock on the right side of the vehicle
cannot be removed completely as
it is attached to a wire harness.
Holding the parts in the same
places as those shown in the illus-
tration, carefully raise the roof
panel and move it toward the front
of the vehicle.
Performing this procedure by hold-
ing parts other than those indi-
cated may result in damage to the
vehicle or serious injury.
Let go of the roof panel once it
begins to lower on its own.
The roof panel will not lower com-
pletely.
