How do you put the top down on a 1991 Mercury Capri xr2?

Answer 1

Open the trunk, look for a round black rubber stopper toward the left brake light. Pry it open, inside there is a metallic lever, twist it anti clockwise to release the top. Manually lift the top to close it. Then turn the metallic lever backwards to its original position, put back the rubber stopper, get inside the car and lock your top.

Answer 2

First open both doors, or lower the windows. Next locate the handles that lock the top to the windscreen. Push in the red button and pull the handles down. Pull the roof back from the winscreen and then raise the back of the roof. The next part refers to Australian Capri's and may be on a different side in America. Using the key unlock the lock located behind the left door and pull up the lever that releases the roof cover behind the rear seat. Raise the cover and fold the roof down. On my car you need to manully push back the hood bows to make them fold properly into the space- if the roof locks onto the rear seat open it again and push back on the roof bows before folding again- the roof should fold downm with no force. Close the roof cover and enjoy!!! It is all in how you fold the top down into the boot DO NOT FORCE IT!!
