INSIDE: Locate the rear hood rail release lever
next to the drivers seat. Pull the lever, releasing the
tension in the hood and disconnecting the rear rail
from the vehicle body. INSIDE: Locate the two press studs holding the roof
fabric to each of the side rails. Release the press
studs, allowing the straps to hang loosely. INSIDE: Release the front rail catches by pushing down
on the release button and hinging the lever upwards
to disconnect the clamp from the windscreen pillar.
HOOD DOWN PROCEDURE
WARNING To prevent damage to the hood, ensure it is clean before folding.
Pay particular attention to the rear window panel which should be
completely free from trapped dirt and debris before folding to prevent
scratches occurring.
WARNING Avoid folding or unfolding the rear window in very cold
conditions. This may cause the rear window panel to split.
WARNING The hood mechanism has several moving parts that can cause
injury. Avoid trapping hands, fingers or loose clothing in the mechanism
while putting up or taking down the roof.
WARNING Care should be taken in the assembly/disassembly and storage
of the hood/hood cover to avoid damage to the vehicle and hood
components. It is therefore recommended that these procedures are
carried out by two people.
WARNING It is recommended that the Morgan Plus Six is not driven
at excessive speeds with the hood and sidescreens up as this may result
in damage to the windscreen.
