The top on my car has been disabled to the point that there is no longer anyway to release the front of the top from the windshield. Someone removed the motor from that location and left the two rod in its place. I really need to replace the rear shocks but I cannot release the top so I can access the storage lid. I have tried removing the rear seats but there is no access there, ditto thru the truck. Is there a way to convert this mess into a totally manual top that I can use during the summer.
