Re: 2005 convertible top not operating
Ok - got the release tool. I followed the procedure to release hydraulic pressure (just in case), used the tool to release the stowage compartment, popped the bow latch with the hex wrench - and wouldn't ya know i can't left the bow up more than about 4" or so, and if i can't lift the rear bow high enough, i can't open the stowage compartment. The top appears to be 'stuck' at the first pivot point back (first pivot point as i work back from the bow to the front of the car). Decided to close her back up, and now i can't get the bow latch to reseat. If i push on it as in the video - nada. If i use the hex wrench to twist either to the left or the right, nada. I'm planning on taking it to a buddy of mine on Saturday who's far better with cars than i am - for a 20 mile drive - is it ok to drive with the rear bow not latched? I assume it'll just be noisy, but not unsafe?
