So Luigi had to remove the convertible top from this 360 Spider and I was able to snap off a few shots...

OMG.....PLEASE TELL ME THAT TECH IS NOT LEANING ON THAT BLUE 355 WHILE ENGAGED IN CONVERSATION.... NOT GOOD IF THAT'S THE CASE.
Check engine light came on; turned out to be the rollover valves. A diagnosis couldn't be made with the car in tact, so the top was removed. Once removed, the problem was quickly assessed (leak in the rollover valve); once the leak was found, it was repaired and the top was reinstalled. No, that tech is not leaning on the 355.
And this is precisely why I saved some of those photos. Can't find Ray's link though when he did that.
We own the car; it's being serviced before we sell it. Every car that comes in for service gets a full detail before it leaves. Thank you! LOL! If you guys require higher resolution images so that you can see things more clearly, just let me know.
Nice shop. It is very interesting how those tops come out - I am glad you shared so others could see.
Not that long, but there was a lot involved. I'll speak with Luigi tomorrow and find out exactly what he had to do. But I believe the panel behind the seats needed to be removed. I'll find out all of the details and post here.
Good to know that you don't need the factory special hoist to get the top assembly out. Ferrri designed the 360 spider top assembly as an "easy" to remove self contained assembly, they say "easy". Nothing on a Ferrari is ever "easy". Thanks for the pictures.
