Default Cabrio manual operation procedure?

Apparently the motors for the top have failed, or the transmissions have failed. Either way, the Bentley manual I have doesn't show a procedure for raising/lowering the top manually. I need to at least get it shut so I can drive safely and drop it off somewhere and get it fixed.

'87 911

Anybody know or have a link to the procedure?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Scott, I converted my electric top to manual by loosening the large bolts that connects the frame to the motor/transmission. Andy

There should be a cap on each side in the rear above and forward of the seats. If you pop off these caps you should have access to the bolts connecting the frame.
