Yes.
To Lower :
1. Lower both windows.
2. Release the top lock.
3. using a 6 MM Hex wrench, release the bow lock which is accessible just inside the opened trunk lid. ( put the trunk divider in the 'top down' position )
4. close the trunk
5. raise the rear window bow, use the 'special tool' or a thin 10 MM wrench to release the tonneau latch. ( dead center in the little gap at the front of the tonneau cover.
6. raise the tonneau cover, and while holding it up, gently lower the top into the well. ( easier said than done. )
7. close the tonneau cover and re-latch.
To raise :
1. lower both windows.
2. release the tonneau latch.
3. raise the tonneau and hold in raise position while using your other two hands to raise the top.
4. hold the rear window bow up and lower / latch the tonneau cover.
5. lower the window bow and upen the trunk and latch it with the 6 MM wrench.
6. close the trunk.
7. latch the top at the windshield header.
