    Does anyone have info on how to operate the convertible top manually on a 355 spider?

    Thanks...

    The manual shows a method with the tools next to the hand brake. I tried using the tools in the past to raise the top and it seemed it would do more harm than good, so I stopped the process ..... :eek:

    I am still triying to find the 'how to' I used to refill my fluid reservoire. It was on here with pictures.

    remove the small bolts holding the small cylinders and It will collapse, no need to replace them if you are going to raise in manually

    I think he is talking about the hydraulic 'actuators' themselves, to remove one bolt from the end .... :)
