When the Roof Cannot be Closed
If the roof cannot be closed electrically by pressing the retractable fastback switch, verify
the roof operation conditions ¿ rst.
Refer to Operation Conditions on page 3-50 .

at an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
If you are unable to have the roof checked at an Authorised Mazda Repairer, the roof can be
closed manually as an emergency measure.
The procedure for manually closing the roof is as follows:
1. Opening the rear roof
Release the locks of the rear roof and open it.
2. Closing the front roof
Lift up the front roof and close it.

hexagonal wrench can be used at an
angle. Moving the wrench upward
slightly will increase the clearance
between the rear roof and the stored
front roof and facilitate the procedure.

(Large) anticlockwise 13 times or more
while pressing the wrench against the
bolt.
NOTE
The bolt cannot be removed
completely.
If it is hard to turn the bolt, repeat

vehicle, lift the rear roof to the position
it stops while keeping the height of
its left and right sides as parallel as
possible.
CAUTION
Do not let go of the rear roof on both
sides until it is fully open. The rear

soon and cause injury.
Do not attempt to forcefully lift the
rear roof. If the rear roof is forcefully
lifted without being unlocked, it
could damage vehicle parts.
Lift the rear roof with its left and
right height as parallel as possible. If
the rear roof is lifted with the left or
right height slanted, it could deform
the link mechanism.
Closing the front roof

Some steps in the procedure require
holding your body in a strained
position and if over exerted it could
result in injury.
Do the procedure being very careful
not to get your hands and ¿ ngers
caught while closing the front roof.
Otherwise, your hands or ¿ ngers
could be injured.
Removal of the headliner is included
in the procedure, however, never
drive the vehicle with the headliner
removed. Driving the vehicle with
the headliner removed is prohibited
by law. Correctly perform the
