Use the hex wrench to release the rear top catch, accessable just inside the open trunk at the top.
Fold the window up, and while holding it with one hand, use the thin 10mm to release the tonneau catch which is located in the center at the front of the cover thru the tiny slit.
Now use your other hand to lift the tonneau cover all the way up, then release the rear window section. Now go to the front and fold the top down into the well. Now close the cover and once again secure it with the 10mm wrench. PIECE OF CAKE !!!!!
Just reverse the process to raise the top.
NOTE : THE TOP IS HEAVY - DON'T LET IT GET AWAY WHILE LOWERING / RAISING IT !
( If you have a friend that is an NFL linebacker, enlist his help and there will be no problem )
Tried getting the top down today, since it was sunny for once! Manually it works fine. The proper allen wrench is a 5.5mm. Here is what I ran into: Got the top down initially, then when I drove the car, I got a beep when I got above 10 mph. OK, back to the drawing board. Just for grins, I pressed the button to raise the top, and it worked! So, I pushed the button to put it back down, and it worked as well, properly latching the tonneau cover. Drove the car, no beep. By the way, if the tonneau is not latched properly, the spoiler won't work, either.
Next, getting the top back up: It wil go back up, but I get a beep from the car before it gets to the 8" mark, the point that, if you were to have the top totally down, and you turned the handle to unlock it, the distance it would go up without resistance. Seems like there is something out of whack with alignment? Possibly a busted switch? Anyone seen this or have it happen to them?
