How to manually close the convertible top of the Mercedes E-Class?

Model: Mercedes Classe E W212 - Years 2009-2016
Part: Convertible top

To manually close the convertible top of the Mercedes E-Class, open the trunk to detach the inner panel on the left and move the underlying screw from MAX to MIN using the hex key. Once this operation is completed, rotate the two mechanisms on the sides of the trunk as shown in the video. By lowering the two knobs at the top, you can then pull out the two handles. Closing the trunk and pulling the handles upward will allow access to the top, which can now be fully raised and repositioned.
