There is a thread, but the easiest way is to lift the top so the tonneau cover is open.

someone else had suggested the opening of the top. They mentioned you only have 10 mins before the toneau cover comes down. Worried about that damaging the cover

I think it's recommended to find a stick long enough to hold it up....it took me less than 10 minutes to get it done.

I use my hiking "trekking pole" (which is a telescopic walking stick that can lock in any length).

Use it to prop the cover up. The window will also relax, don't worry about it. Use techniques from the manual procedure to return the top to all-the-way-up or all-the-way-down if you need to.

FYI, the roadster taillight bulbs can be replaced via the trunk lid.

Thanks for the video, could come in handy, specially if I ever own a roadster!

I see three bulb sockets in the Tail Light assembly, How come there are four bulbs listed? The Brake and Tail lights are combined as a double filament bulb.
This list has been around for years but lists too many bulbs.
