1. Unsnap all the outer snaps
2. Unsnap the snaps on the rear hoodstick (crossmember of top frame)(if
your car has 'em)
3. Open latches on top of windshield
4. While raising the front of the top, pull out the top from just
forward of the rear window, as you flip the front back. This will result
in having the frame folded back while the top is stretched back to the
rear, over the luggage compartment lid.
5. Fold the quarter panels inward and then fold the top forward over to
the front behind the seats.
6. Enjoy the sunshine!!!!!!!!


Cheers,
