| Post subject: | Cabriolet roof failure |
Hi all, Anyone know how to release the top compartment rear lid on a gen 1 cab ? Had a 'clunk' noise when starting to lower the roof & the compartment lid failed to raise on offside only so twisting the lid &  stopping the main roof operation. Appears to be a hinge / driving rod failure on the sub assembly that lifts the lid, but how to access it ? Have looked in my technical repair manual but can find no mention of this. Any help appreciated as sun is shining & I've got no open top driving ! |

You can open it manually, if you in the drivers manual the instructions are there. You access the mechanism behind the rear seats. |

Hi Sean, Thanks but I've tried that, but the mechanism that raises the compartment lid on offside is jammed so only one side lifts & distorts the bodywork. I'll have to look at taking out the crash hoop structure (or the rear window glass ?) so I can get through under the lid to see the hinging better. |
