Taking Down The Convertible Top for The First Time

The first thing the owners manual says is to unzip the glass back, fold it down into the trunk luggage area, and then fold the top down into that area.....there were a few obsticles in our way

1. There was ice and water in that luggage area

2. There was a cat litter box holding up the glass

3. IT SMELT LIKE CRAP!!!!(I guess its cat crap from the 60's lol)

Here's the ice and the catbox out of the car.

Next we take down the convertible top...not as easy as you'd think. It hasn't come down probably in 8 years!

"Undo front clips, making sure to close them back after lifting the convertible top out..." - Owners Manual
