Greetings XXXXXXXX,

These are the instructions from BMW on how to manually operate the top on your vehicle...They are as follows: Here's what you do:
1- open all of the windows
2- unlock the roof by turning the latch between the sun visors.
3- push the front of the roof towards the rear of the car - be sure to push in the middle of the roof, where the latch is.
4- lift the back of the roof up off of the roof storage compartment
5- while holding the back of the of the roof up, lift up the roof storage compartment door
6- let go of the back of the roof so that it drops right into the storage compartment
7- push the rest of the roof into the storage compartment
8- close the storage compartment door.

To close the roof, follow the steps above in reverse order. Remember: this is a German car, so you use a little bit (or a lot) of force and you won't hurt it ....jeffrey590

Answer

Under the back seat on the driver's side is a orange/red teathered lever. Pull it toward the drivers door until you feel two pops and fully return it to under the seat. You disengaged the C-top motor and the Storage lid motor. You can move the top and lid around manually and inspect the latches and cable for the storage lid. Make sure everything is okay and store C-top in storage compartment...jeffrey590
