Hardtop
5 Remove the two oval cover panels
from the front of the hardtop frame,
using a screw driver, if necessary
6 Position the tool for locking the hard-
top in place, and turn it outward until
you hear an audible click. Do this
both on the left and right side of the
hardtop frame to release both
catches
7 The hardtop is now completely un-
locked. With the help of one other
person, lift the hardtop up and carry
it over the vehicle to the rear
8 When removing it, be sure that the
back end of the hardtop is resting on
the catches.
Do not let the hardtop rest on the
edge of the roof, as this could
cause
damage.<
9 Press the left and right protective
covers onto the hardtop brackets.
Installing
Goes the same way as for taking the
hardtop off, just do it in reverse order.
Whenever the hardtop is in constant
use, the cloth convertible top does not
need to be dismantled, even in winter.
Before storing the cloth convertible top
in the convertible top compartment, it
has to be completely dry to keep any
water or mildew stains from forming.
Two people are required for putting the
convertible top on and taking it off.
Exercise great care when doing so, in
order to avoid any damage to the paint,
the vehicle body, or the hardtop itself.
