Scuse I Jack, Have looked behind seats = no panel, nothing visible here - its carpeted right up the rear bulkhead behind the seats, Searched in boot - can find no handle of any sort, Under boot floor panel is the battery, and to rear of this is some sort of electrical box with wires heading off to right and left sides of car, and a plastic reservoir underneath this, but cannot see any connection / mechanism linking to the hard top itself. Are there any technical / workshop manuals on line which may cover this - or have you any further advice please, Thanks for your time ----- Alan,
