Gosh, I cant get the damn boot installed. It is impossible because the that pin is covered by the convertible. I read previous post where someone pushed down on their convertible to get the pins exposed? Wont that hurt the mechanism?

 

I think the poster wanted you to manually assist lowering the top - it won't hurt, I do it all the time. Your boot may also be inflexible, so leave it out of the trunk (unfolded) for a while, in the sun if possible. I never use mine, and I still have the recalled version. Someone was working on a fabric boot, but I don't know what the status is. Anyone?

 

how do you "manualing assist" in lowering the top?

 

push it down.

It is tricky, the edges on the inner corners have to be just right or they hang up on the top mechanism. And I have to put my hand under the back edge to guide the clips onto the pins. Try finding one that is installed at a dealer or at the WLA meet. Once you get the hang of it, it should take less than a minute to install.
