In the event of the top hydraulics failing the top can be closed manually. However, the toneu cover will not lock the rear of the convertible top down.

All cabriolets will need their top hydraulics rebuilt if they have not been done. The seals wont last forever, especially if its a low mile car.

My cabriolet has had the headgasket and wiring harness done. So far so good on the transmission and evap.
