Manually open the convertible top on a 1999 volvo c70

The Used 2003 Volvo C70 Convertible comes with front wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 5-speed automatic, 5-speed manual.

Question moved from spanish car maker 'Seat' (See-At).
Question edited for clarity. Guessing it is a Volvo, so moved it there. 'Year Make Model' in all question please.

Try, it just be aware of pinch points and get ready to move fast. Also have someone at the ignition key ready to cut power in case anything jams.

Replace the motor with a new one.

My 2013 C70's trunk won't open if the glove compartment is locked. May be a special feature for convertibles.

One of the microswitches at the latches is not engaging stopping the cycle for safety reasons in case something is stuck, open the roof again and inspect the latch down areas for foreign objects or a misaligned microswitch.
