What is that you are using to prop the back cowl? Do the green and orange paint zones have some special meaning to the placement?
i was told by my car guy (Mercedes wiz), to never interrupt the button pressed up/down procedure. Looks like you did with I’m guessing seemingly no issue with top sync after??? Is it just gravity that lowers the back cowl, so that propping it like that is ok to just “do”? Or….. do I need to do something special first like pat
my belly and rub my head at the same time while hopping on one foot.
1) Do not ask questions without making it clear WHO you are asking. To do this, use the "quote" button at the bottom of the post you are referring to. (Like I did, but I deleted your photos from the reply for clarity.)
2) Interrupting the top process by releasing the button is not a big deal, it's just that:
... After nine minutes, pressure from the system is released and the top items will relax, sync may be lost by teh PTCM and you will need to re-sync.
... Stopping the top midway, again, leaves pressure on the cylinders for longer than normal periods, this can lead to leaks if you do this a lot.
3) Green and Orange paint zones? Prop the cowl? I/we don't know what you are referring to.
