We have a good well, maybe so so search feature here and the 'special tool' is frequently mentioned. In fact I did a drawing of one some time back and put it up here for all to use if they wanted to make one.

Anyone who spent $500 to make one obviously has too much money to spend, and anyone who buys one at $147.50 plus shipping has too much money or rocks in their head.

I'll add your first post here so maybe those that know about the roadster can answer now.

Manual part of trunk latch is broken and so it will not open. Have trunk made for most space so top will not go down.have tool to give lock quarter turn to release top for manual operation . Cannot feel bolt. Cannot visually look. Could sure use a photo looking down that first body space with top down back between seats & trunk lid so I know what I am trying to put wrench on. Tried for 1/2 hr & could not feel anything. Rwharlick@gmail.com. Thanks:
