1. The easiest and safest way is to move the lid near the car, use the proper harness to hook it up
temporarily and then extend it using the dash switch.
2. Another option is to use a 12 - 14 volt power supply (e.g. batter charger) and apply power directly to the
pump motor contacts. Briefly touch the leads to the two male spade terminals. If the wing begins to move
out, you have the polarity correct. If the wing does nothing, the polarity is not correct, or the motor /
hydraulic system is defective. If the wing bumped out, provide power until the wing is out far enough to
access the spanner holes in the chrome hydraulic tubes.
CAUTION: Do not drive the motor too long or damage may occur, including rupturing the hydraulic system
and spraying Pentosin fluid (corrosive and flammable) - be extremely careful, wear safety gear and a face
shield.
The OEM hydraulics extends the wing only 1.6 inches (~40mm) for the coupe and 2.4 inches (~60mm) for
the cabrio, note photos below.
Once the wing extended, look for a small hole just below the wing connection in the chrome cylinder. This
cylinder is actually made of nested parts. The outer cylinder rotates independently of the fitting that screws
into the wing. This clever design allows the hole to rotate into a "closed" position so that water doesn't flow
into the cylinder annulus.
Rotate the outer hole in the cylinder to align with the inner hole on the fitting that screws into the wing. See
below; outer cylinder in the “closed” position.
The outer cylinder may not rotate easily. One method is to use duct tape into a half-inch wide strip placed
around the cylinder and use a pair of channel lock pliers, applying as little pressure as possible, to rotate it
until the holes line up. Another method is to use a Pin Wrench (available here:
