Our first vert!

I'm new to convertibles so can some one tell me the steps to putting the top down? I've got a 1992 rs. It's a 25th year Anrv all Black. also I found a plastic piece in the trunk with a slight curve and it's marked on each end front and back. does it have anything to do with the top?

Re: Our first vert!

to get the top off if you're sitting in the back seat behind the passenger there's a little handle you pull back, this opens up the tonneau cover then up front by the visors there's to handles you pull back then you should be able to put the top down :thumbsup

Re: Our first vert!

z28 started it for you.

1.In the back drivers side, slide that lever forward. Flip the rear of the top up.
2.Now, next to that lever is a switch. Hit it, flip that cover lid up.
3.Flip the rear of the top back down.
4.Go to the top of the windshield inside. Under the sunvisors, rotate the two handles 180 deg.
5. grab the top, pull it up and back at the same time and it should colapse into the storage area, unless some of the mechanisms are damage.
6. Flip the cover lid back down.

done

Tips!
Make sure the passanger door is open, or the window is down before taking the top up, or down!
The cover lid and trunk lid can not be open at the same time
pray you never have a flat. Getting that spare out is an SOB
In case you do have a flat. Make sure you have the "can o air", or an air pump that plugs into the cig socket.


Welcome to the boards, and welcome to verts!

Re: Our first vert!

Thank You!!!! I'm still pretty new at this stuff, but I'm a fairly quick learner that just needs a little proding for time to time.. The pict in # 11 and on my profile is when wife and I found it and bought it for a play toy. Heres a pict with the lid down.
