380sl Hard top 1985

[GeorgeJackson]

I am having trouble removing the top on the above car.
The latches over the windshield work ok and release. However the two side latches do not move and the chrome fitting for the lever has come off.
How do I position the fitting correctly so it fits on firmly and what should I be doing to turn both latches towards the rear? Have not had this problem befor and only had the top back on at the end of last summer.
Any advise would be appreciated
