Convertible top problem
Just purchased a beautiful 1999 xk8. 38000. Miles. When it was delivered everything was perfect but top won’t go down. It worked before purchased it. I am trying to get it down manually. I have turned the hex key in the trunk and used the Allen wrench to unlatch the front latch. The top will not move. I have read something about releasing the rams. Can someone help me with that. I want to enjoy the weather while I wait for the part to replace the hydraulic lines

Lots of info on manual opening of the Convertible top
We’ve all been there. Try this recent thread out. Link below

There’s a figure showing how to squeeze the top of the ram (behind head liner rear quarter). Firm but gentle - don’t bend frame laterally .
