    Omg I am in the very early stage of separating from husband, first thing to go wrong was I couldn’t get the top down, I know it sounds daft but I burst into tears thinking I will never cope as a single parent… then I found this video and it boosted my confidence! I feel like I will be ok! Thank you UA-cam stranger ❤❤❤❤❤

    Mini top wouldn’t retract, found this vid and went to work! Was discouraged to find nothing amiss with the handles or grey shelf in the back but I guess just moving the shelf seated it better and the top went down like a charm. Happy motoring!

    I always thought it was because of the heat in Florida that I had issues
    Anyhow, I moved my car into the shade waiting for it to cool down. The top would still not come down. I did a UA-cam search, and your video saved the day.
    Something in the trunk was preventing my top from working? Crazy
    Thank you
