Why is the hood of the Smart 450 Cabrio locked?
Years 1998-2007

Answer

If the top of the Smart 450 Cabrio is locked, there may be problems with the motors that regulate the closing of the top, or with the gears. If the scooters do not work it will be sufficient to replace them. If the motors are working and the hood is still blocked, there could be problems with the gears: the replacement of these gears can require rather expensive interventions ranging from € 200.00 to € 500.00.
