Hi,

Yes, there is a procedure for manually raising the top. Here it is:

● Engine OFF, Remove Ignition Key

● Use a Large Screwdriver to pry Top Compartment Lid Links (ABS Black Plastic)
OFF of Drive Levers on each side

● Lift and Tilt Compartment Lid (Boot) rearward and rest in OPEN Position

● Remove Red-Tiped Cable Links off Convertible Top on each side

● Lift Convertible Top and Lock against Top of Windshield Header

● Manually Close Convertible Top Compartment Lid (Boot)

It sounds more complicated than it actually is. Once you remove the appropriate Links from the Drive Mechanism, it's quite intuitive. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
