Hard Top Roof Fitting - Lotus ELISE 2007 Owner's Handbook Manual

5. Unhook the two roof stays and pack in the roof bag. Stow
the bag in the rear luggage compartment.
NOTICE: If the roof is not fully dry, it should be stowed for no
longer than 1 or 2 days before unrolling or refitting and allowing
to air dry completely. Prolonged stowage of a wet or damp roof
will promote rotting of the fabric.
HARD TOP ROOF
NOTICE:
• The hard top roof has been designed to provide a seasonal,
rather than single trip option. Some owners may prefer to
entrust the fitting and removal of the hard top roof to their
dealer.
• When stowing the roof off the car, care should be taken to
avoid damage to the roof corners; e.g. use a suitable soft
floor covering on which to stand the roof. Note that there is
no provision for on-board hard top roof stowage.
• Fitment or removal of the hardtop is made considerably easier
with the assistance of a second person.
• Use only the 'Torx' tool supplied in the vehicle tool kit to tighten
or release the roof fixing screws.
• The hardtop roof fixings are tethered to the roof panel to
guard against their loss.
WARNING:
Take care to avoid trapping hands or fingers when fitting
or removing the hard top.
