How do you open a VW Cabriolet convertible?

Answer 1

In the 87 cabriolet there are little handles at the front right and one on the front left side of the top, inside of the car. Pull down on these little handles and unfastend the hook from the little metal bar, push the top up a bit, push the little handles flat again, then proceed to lift the top and fold it back, once it is folded down, push down on the top slightly until you hear it click into a locked position....to keep it from flying up when driving. To Unlock the top from the down postion, and to be able to close it, push down slightly on the top, and hold down the little levers on each side of the back seat and the locks will release....you can do one side, then the other....two people working together makes this much easier. To close the top...reverse the proceedure. Sounds complicated but is very easy.
