removing or installing it.
Removing the Roof Panel
WARNING
Do not try to remove a roof panel
while the vehicle is moving.
Trying to remove the roof panel
while the vehicle is moving could
cause an accident. The panel
could fall into the vehicle and
cause you to lose control, or it
could fly off and strike another
vehicle. You or others could be
injured. Remove the roof panel
only when the vehicle is parked.
Until you are sure you can remove
the panel alone, have someone
help you.
If you drop or rest a roof
panel on its edges, the roof panel,
paint and/or weatherstripping
may be damaged. Always place
the roof panel in the stowage
receivers after removing it from
the vehicle.
1. Park on a level surface and set
the parking brake. Shift an
automatic transmission into
P (Park). Shift a manual
transmission into N (Neutral).
2. Make sure the ignition is off.
3. Lower both sun visors.
4. Open the rear hatch and remove
any items that may interfere with
proper storage of the roof panel.

There are two release latches on
the front of the roof panel and
one rear release latch on the
back of the roof panel.
6. To unlock the release latches on
the front of the roof panel, grasp
each handle and pull it outward.
