Default Help ! - Manual close of top

My top isn't fully closing. (I was driving a little too fast and it stopped duing the close sequence and won't restart the open or close sequence).

How do I get that plastic plug off that covers the area where I insert the allen wrench? I'm trying w/ a tiny flat screwdriver and don't want to break it.

Will the rear windows close after I manually close the top?

Yes the windows should close after the top is latched. To remove that plug you just need to use a larger screwdriver. Go to my page and you will see info on a how to http://www.gusglikas.com/AutoRepairH...lOperation.htm Let us know if you need additional help. Do you know why the top stopped closing??

A small coin will also help to pry the cap off.

Issue solved. I was trying to remove the "cap" under the homelink panel. I totally missed the "proper" hole that I was looking for. After gouging out the wrong hole, I now need to find some way to repair the damage I caused.
