 Tonneau and trunk release levers in driver’s side B-pillar. 

                                                           

 

Note: It is important that the deck lid and tonneau cover are NEVER both open 
at the same time, or they will contact one another.  If this happens, damage to 
the paint may result.  ALWAYS USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN RELEASING 
EITHER PANEL.  

 

The closure latches used on your Dearborn Convertible are “two stage” latches. You 
may find that the deck lid will close and latch (click) once, but it may not be 
completely closed. The deck lid must be firmly closed in order to set to the second 
latch.  If the gap between the base of the deck lid and the lower valance panel 
appears wider than normal, this is an indication that the deck lid has not been 
latched all the way.  It is not necessary to open the trunk again in order to catch the 
second latch; apply firm pressure to the trunk with both hands to seat the deck lid all 
the way and catch the second stage of the latch. 
 
The tonneau uses the same two-stage latch.  You may find that the tonneau requires 
extra pressure to seat it into the second stage of the latch (especially while the 
weather seals are new).  When properly closed, the body reveals on the tonneau 
surface will line up flush with the body reveals on the quarter panel, creating a 
smooth flow of the lines.
