How to Remove the Sunroof on Smart Fortwo

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Convertible top

To remove the sunroof on the Smart Fortwo cabrio, first, open the rear hatch of the vehicle. Now, unscrew the two bolts that secure the hood at the sides of the car, located inside near the rear lights, and begin to fold it upwards. Disengage the fabric part of the hood from the rigid bar at the lower rear and proceed to disengage it along the side perimeters. You can now lower the rigid bar and continue to disengage the hood from the sides. When you reach the horizontal roof section, it is necessary to remove the plastic piece that includes the high-level brake light. To do this, unscrew the 4 bolts that secure it in place using the appropriate spanner. Remove it while being careful to disconnect the electrical supply. At this point, unscrew the 2 outer bolts that secure the hood at the top cross member, operate the electric control to slide the hood back, and, by moving the necessary pieces for the hood to slide in the tracks (as shown in the images), slide the hood forward again to unscrew the 6 screws (3 on each side) found under the track cover. At this point, the job is done; disengage the rear part of the hood from the horizontal cross member and you can remove it from the car.
