    I know the answer to this, but have just been out to the garage to check for you.
    When you unlatch the top leaver and pull the roof back into the ready position. After the seats have gone forward, the upper/top cylinders pull the roof back the rest of the way so its in a vertical position above and in line with the rear of the seats .
    Then the bottom cylinders pull the roof in a downwards motion so its now behind the seats. Then the seats go back.
    I have found these videos on you tube were you can clearly see the roof being pulled back after opening, especialy in the first one. Hope this helps :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOC7r4EXWsg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpCfX0Y-ILU
