anyone know how to close (raise) top in an emergency like when caught in rain with blown top motor fuse? Is it possible to pull up the top and close by hand?

 

It's in your owner's manual.

Page 221:

If the electric motor will not close
the convertible top, do the following

Check the fuse for the convertible
top motor (see page 222). If the
fuse is blown, replace it with one
of the same or lower rating.

Try closing the convertible top. If
the new fuse blows immediately or
the convertible top still does not
operate, you can close it manually.

Locate the electrical connector for
the convertible top motor.
It is under the lower corner of the
dashboard on the passenger’s side.
Disconnect the connector by
pushing the tab and pulling the
connector down.

Holding each corner of the
convertible top, raise the top and
push it forward as far as it will go.

Follow steps 4 through 6 of the
closing procedure on page 76.

 

Thank you for the quick, informative reply. It is starting to rain right now....I'll take my lap top out with me for the instructions....sounds like those owner's manuals can be really helpful.

 

Moderately.

 

Look in the secret compartment. That is where I found my manual and the csrd with the radio code.

 

owners manual for a my05 does not have 221 pages or top info on page 76.
