pletely. If they are still visible: close the con-
vertible top box cover as far as necessary

slowly open the cover. During this process,
do not close the convertible top box cover
completely.

At the same time keep the convertible top
box cover from closing, e.g. using your
shoulder.

top box cover, arrow 6. Then lower the rear
convertible top frame.

the front convertible top frame from the out-
side and on both sides as far as possible.
8. Carefully remove the cover in the center of
the front convertible top frame using the
screwdriver.

Allen wrench and insert the wrench into the
opening provided.
10. Turn the Allen wrench all the way to the left,
arrow

is locked to the windshield frame. The rear
convertible top frame is automatically
pressed down onto the convertible top box
cover and is sealed tight under tension.
The closing procedure must be fully com-
pleted, otherwise damage or injury may
occur.
Please contact your BMW center to have the
cause of the malfunction eliminated.
