Hi All
Trying to remove the hardtop and all seemed to be going well until tipping at the back (I usually dead lift straight up but the person in assistance had to let the front down) The switch was then pushed the wrong way and effectively has locked the front of the roof to the windscreen frame whilst the rear is out of its mounting holes and is offset by about half an inch so I cant get them back in, How do I manually release the front catches as they will not undo on the switch
Urgent replies would be appreciated as I am stuck!

Thanks

Steve

use the manual operation to free it look in your hand book to see where the locking points are.... you should have the tool in your tool kit

all been there and done it at one point.....

Thanks Raj
Sorted now. trouble is I think I knew that sometime long ago when God was a lad and Pontius was a pilot!

Thanks for the rapid response
