Itisonlysnappedintoplace.
 
2.Theconvertibletopcontroller(1)islocateddirectlyunderthejustremovedpiece.Takenoteof
themetalclips(2)onthepiece.Thereshouldbe8ofthem.Ifsomeofthemarestuckinthe

Installation‐Steps4‐6

4.Pullthetopcontrolunitoutasfaraspossible,thenreplacethe2ndfromtheleft(1)grey
connectorandtherightmost(2)greenconnectorwiththeonesfromthemoduleharness.Matethe
originalconnectorswiththematchingsocketsontheharness,makingsuretheysecurelylatchinto

5.Reassembleeverything,thenstartclosingthetopandinterruptitjustwhentherearlidisopen.
Findthealarmcontactontherightsideofthecar.Removethelever.

6.Removingtheleverwillhavenonegativeimpactatall.Nowthealarmsimplydoesnotmonitor
theconvertibletopdecklidanylongerwhichmakesitpossibletoclosetheroofwiththeremote
withoutsettingoffthealarm.Leverandspringshouldbestoredforrevertingbacktostockatalater
time.
