the holes. Push forward on the larger part of the latch
until it clicks.
Do not force the latch. If it is hard to
lock, the top is not properly aligned.
If your vehicle suffers a power loss, such as a dead
battery, you can still raise
the top manually by rotating
the valve in the left side of the trunk. Open the trunk and
find
the tab along the left side trim
panel. Lift up the tab and turn the valve clockwise to
release the hydraulic pressure. Turn the ignition key to
the LOCK position. You can now raise or lower your
top
manually. Be sure to close the valve after installing your
top
so you can raise or lower it electrically later.
