Hi All
I have just successfully imported an absolutely sold (if a little scruffy) 71 280 manual from CA here to the UK.
I love this car as a manual and have been enjoying its first day on the road today until I decided to look at the soft top.
Now I have looked at this very good thread (
http://www.sl113.org/forums/index.php?topic=16989.0) But it doesn't help me.
I have somehow managed to get the hood stuck half way up/down.
The rear of the roof has extended itself within the storage compartment whilst the rest of the top is up so wedging it well and truly under the hinges.
I'm in no doubt that you've heard of this before and even I seem to remember doing this once before years ago when I owned another 113.
Question is how do I get myself out of this problem? The rear of the hood will not retract to clear the hinge and the top will not fold down.
