Chris Wilson Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 If you look in the boot there should be one of these in the tool kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadMax2042 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Get a buddy to help you do this the first few times. You will need the tool kit provided Keron had some old new ones for sale. Open and empty the boot first! Leave it open! Next Sit in side and using the tool undo the lock in the centre of the roof. I always do mine on opposite corners next and undoo the locks in each corner. Once this is done lift the roof off, carry it to the boot and slide it into the holder from the any side of the boot. Job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 There should be a diagram inside your centre console lid :-) If you don't have 'the tool' any allen key will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Also, make sure the car is parked on a straight and level surface when fitting/removing the roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisH Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 When you put the roof back tighten the back bolts first - the pulls the roof panel tight into the sockets at the back. Use an electric screwdriver with a hex bit - it is so much quicker - use the type that grips the bit - saves looking for it in the car when it falls out! Watch out when its hot and sunny as the panel can be very hot when you take it off, and watch out if its windy cos the wind can catch it.
