Convertible top mechanism

I have a 97 convertible, but this should apply to any of the sn95 convertibles. My question is, if the convertible top mechanism fails, can the top be manually raisedor lowered in an emergency so that you could at least get the car to the garage for repairs and not have to drive with the top half up?

Yes, but it will give some resistance. I have done it to mine when i was changing the top out.

RE: Convertible top mechanism

yeah every now and again my top goes down and doesn't go up. i get some help from a friend and pull it up, the funny thing is then it will go up and down. kinda weird.
