Storing the Roof Panel {CAUTION: If a roof panel is not stored properly, it could be thrown about the vehicle in a crash or sudden maneuver. People in the vehicle could be injured. Whenever you store a roof panel in the vehicle, always be sure that it is stored securely in the proper location. Notice: If you drop or rest a roof panel on its edges, the roof panel, paint and/or weatherstripping may be damaged. Always place the roof panel in the stowage receivers after removing it from the vehicle. 1. Turn the roof panel so that the rear edge of the panel is facing the storage area. The locating pins (at the rear of the panel) should point toward the egg-shaped stowage receivers on the floor of the center compartment. 2. Push the panel forward until the pins bottom out in the receivers. 9. Stand on one side of the vehicle and, if necessary, have your helper stand on the other side. Together, carefully lift the front edge of the panel up and forward, and out of the vehicle opening. 10. When the panel is loosened from the vehicle, one person should grasp the roof panel as close to the center of the vehicle as possible and lift away the panel. 2-47
