Re-engage Convertible Top

[epheterson]

I was messing around under my back seat and pulled that little evil lever that changes my convertable top from electric to manual. It wasn't until after the fact that I read in the manual "to reengage take to the dealer". I doubt, or I hope there is another way to engage it considering I'm a student without much money (and don't want to get ripped off by dealer charges).

Does anybody out there know how to re-engage an automatic convertable top after pulling the lever which makes it manual?

ANY help is appreciated, thank you in advance for your responce.

manually fold it into the well, open the trunk, you will have to push down on the conv.top lid to get the trunk to work, pull the panel down on the left side of the trunk, yank the two motors back into their drive mechanisms, go push the down button, turn the ign on while holding the button, in about 30 seconds it will pull the lid down and the top should work correctly from that point.

Hey, I tried to do that and realized the lid is misaligned, leaving a noticable gap which is preventing the trunk from opening, any suggestions?

yes the convertible top lid will not close all the way, push down on the right side of the lid you will hear a click and be able to open the trunk. you have to do both at the same time push down and open the trunk.
