Hello,

There is a way to unlock the latch for the roof. This can allow you to open the roof. However, it will not go back into the trunk as there are several motors and servos that controls the top and it will not allow you to move it much more than just open it little bit.

I have attached the diagram below that show how to lock the latch, simply reverse the procedure to unlock the latch.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
