Coupe Top
Your coupe has a removable roof panel.
Until you are sure you can remove the
panel alone, have someone help you.
To Remove the Top:
There are two latches on the front part
of the panel and one latch in the middle
rear of the panel.
1. Lower the windows.
2. Pull down and turn the front handles
to release the front latches.
3. To unlock the rear of the panel, press
the Latch Release button and pull
down the latch.
4. Lift the front edge of the panel up and
forward out of the vehicle opening.
Once removed, the roof panel should
always be stored properly in the rear
storage compartment. Place it in the for-
ward position in the stowage receivers.
To Install the Top:
1. Make sure that the front handles and
the rear latch are in their opened
positions.
2. Place the rear edge of the roof panel
on the back of the roof opening,
aligning the roof panel pins with the
opening in the body weatherstrip.
