top with your right hand. With your left hand, press

your Corvette has lost power (dead battery, for

using the manual release handles. The handles are near
the sidewall behind the safety belt anchors
on each side
of your vehicle. Move the handles toward the rear of the
vehicle and upward.

Do not leave the convertible top on the closed lid
when lowering the top. This may result in paint
