Hey, it's easy. Put emergency brake on. Open the trunk, look to the left and take off the round piece holding the mechanism. Just turn the little screw thingy counterclockwise--then go up front and unlatch and pull your roof down manually---then go back and tighten up the screw clockwise. When I found out how much it cost to replace the mechanism so it would work automatically, I figured manual's much easier and cheaper!
