Don’t try
to
remove a roof panel while the
vehicle
is
moving. Trying to remove the roof
panel while the vehicle
is
moving could cause
an
accident.
The
panel could fall into
the
vehicle and cause you to lose control, or
it
could fly
off
and strike another vehicle. You or
others could be injured. Remove the roof pane
only when the vehicle
is
parked.
1.
Park on a level surface, set the parking brake firmly
and shift an automatic transmission into
PARK
(P).
Shift a manual transmission into
REVERSE
(R).
2. Turn the ignition key to
OFF.
Lower both sun visors
and turn them toward the door glass.
3.
Open the rear hatch and remove any items that may
interfere with proper storage of the roof panel.
Until you are sure you can remove the panel alone,
have someone help you.
Notice:
To avoid damage to the roof panel, paint
and weatherstripping, do not drop or rest
it
on
its
edges,
Place the roof panel
in
the egg-shaped
stowage receivers after removing
it
from the vehicle.
4. Make sure to install the two egg-shaped stowage
receivers into the floor of the rear storage
compartment. Secure both receivers into their
proper positions by turning them counterclockwise.
