Anyway of manually taking that off? or moving it up ?


thats what i did with my z today... took it out put the top down came back home now the top is broken SMH

hopefully it's not the broken wire, or one of the support of the aluminum frame.

there's a section of the manual explain to you how to operate the soft top manually.


May I ask, how long haven't you put the top down before you have this problem?

arr.... then you are safer than what you think.


I notice the soft top will kinda stuck half way if you haven't operate it for a while.

same thing happen to mine.

since I keep mine in the garage and it will station for the whole winter.

the best way is to move the roof up and down once a week something like that.

is the roof stilll stucked??

try it again after couple minutes and it should work again.

it happen to mine last week, try to lower it and it got stuck half way, switch off the car, wait for a min or two, then start the car again, and try to put the roof back, then try to lower it again and it should work like normal.

you can put it down manually and then start the car and press the button to put it back up.

if you can try to just push the top into the storage (not forcing it), then it should be able to go back up with the button.

no need, it happens when the top has been stationed for a long time.
