Hi just wondering if its possible to send some pictures of the locks and mechanism of the manual convertible roof. They are placed at the rear passenger side under where the panel lifts up so the roof can fold into. I have a link that is disconnected at on side and the other side is connected to a electric motor (looks like a central locking motor but maybe I'm wrong)
MANY THANKS

Ben.

You have the all-manual version?

But you're talking about an electric motor also...?

Maybe these can help:

Hi thanks for the information, i have the all manual. The electric box's looks like a central locking box its small with a metal rod coming out of it,if you push it in it will automatically bush back out. The other side is disconnected and hanging around!!
THANK YOU

Ben.

If I'm correct this the mechanism in place to prevent you from opening your trunk unless the rear bonnet is secured...if it isn't it will contact the trunk and damage it.....I may have pics someplace here.
