Peter , thanks for the reply ............ in the manual it shows how to put up the convertible top , which does seem easy , it doesn't show how to put it down , i tired to do everything backwards , I can unlock the front locks on the right and left of the windsheild , I can unlock the back latch that goes up , but I can't put it up bacause I can't get the back of the top to unlock , thats probably the first thing that needs to be unlocked when putting the top down , any ideas on how I can get to that ??
