450sl top down; can't open hatch!!!
 

Help, need advice on how to open hatch when the cable disconnected and/or handle is not working? Can't get the soft top up!
Thanks, Owlz

This is a fairly common problem - the answers can be found with a search on this forum. On one side (the left side), you can release it with a thin screwdriver; on the other, you use a coathanger wire to pull on the cable (hopefully, your cable housing is intact).
