It is most important that the instructions given for raising, lowering, and folding
the hood are followed.
Do
not use undue force on the hood frame members.
DO
not fold or stow the hood when it is wet or damp.
Release both windscreen frame toggle catches
(1).
Release the two fasteners
(2)
on the windscreen rails, the two fasteners
(3)
on
the cant rails and the two fasteners
(4)
on the hood mounting brackets.
Release the four fasteners from each rear quarter panel
(5)
and pull the hood
(6)
slightly forwards to disengage the hook
(7)
from the socket
(8)
on the body side
panel.
Move the seat tilt catch forward and incline the seat backs towards the front
of the car.
Raise the hood header rail
(11)
until
it
is poised approximately midway over the
door aperture.
Disengage the hood rear rail from the anchor plates
(9)
on the tonneau panel.
Fold each quarter-light
(10)
onto the back-light and continue the fold in the
material forward to the header rail
(11).
ENSURE THAT THE FOLD IS
MADE IN THE HOOD MATERIAL BETWEEN THE QUARTER-LIGHT
AND THE BACK-LIGHT. FAILURE TO DO THIS MAY CAUSE PER-
MANENT DAMAGE TO THE BACK-LIGHT MATERIAL.
Push the header rail

rearwards and at the same time draw the back-light
and hood material

out over the luggage compartment lid ensuring that the
hood material does not become trapped between the hood sticks.
