Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Anyone have a step by step with pictures for moving the top into service position? I am a little slow and need pictures, plus I don't really trust myself without detailed instructions.

POST 2Original post

It is not as critical an operation as it might sound Cycle the top to open and let it stop when the front edge of the top is about 18-20 inches from the window frame. Do you have the owners manual? It is illustrated in there. I'll search for a pic or two....

POST 3Original post

Here's the owner's manual in PDF format. I used this, and followed the illustrations. Owner's Manual It's easy as heck to get into the engine bay. But mind your plastic window.... my bottom corners cracked on me.

POST 4Original post
