Lowering and raising the convertible top

Convertible models are equipped with removable rear windows.

The convertible roof is intended for weather protection only. And it is not capable of ensuring the safety of passengers in the event of an accident. While the vehicle is moving, passengers must remain in their seats and wear seat belts.

Removal and installation side windows

1. To remove the side window, release the strap retainer from the inside of the window to the top edge of the window opening in the roof frame.



2. Release the Velcro fastener that secures the rear and top edges of the window assembly.



3. Locate the zipper catch at the lower rear corner of the window and unzip the zipper completely, freeing the window up to its upper front corner.

4. Slide the window forward to release the front and lower retaining straps from the guide channel in the body panel.

5. Roll the window film into a roll and place it in the special pocket in the tailgate (see below).

6. Repeat the procedure for the opposite side window.
