Then slowly lower it while holding the roof with your hands. Make sure both flat hinges are inserted into the hinge cases. 2. Press in the retaining spring arms and insert them into the holes. Then lock the sun roof by pushing the handle up with the palm of your hand until the handle clicks. D Do not lower or raise the soft- top while the vehicle is moving. You may lose control and it may cause an accident. D The vehicle should never be driven with the soft- top partially lowered. Make sure the top has been either fully latched to the roof or fully lowered before driving. D When raising or lowering the softtop, keep hands clear from any parts of the top linkage. 20
